Yea took a bit of trawling bit anoraky i know on my part :-[ ..... PLUS we still haven't designed our electronic ignition yet. Suppose you have been sailing the seven seas though in the meantime.
I am going to cadge the remains of that RS Candy Jade Green paint off Jim sometime and do a couple of spray out cards with it to see if anyone locally can match it. Fookin' mega expensive from RS.
Sesman:
Yes,a match for the green would be good. It’s a lovely colour in my opinion. And yes, RS certainly know how to charge!!
Had a go at firing the 550 this morning. It was stumbling and misfiring, refusing to tickover and only responding with choke full on. Loosening the float bowl drain screws revealed lots of black particles, so I suspect blocked pilot jets. Carbs off again and tank flush on the cards. Must invest in a line filter.
On ignition, I’m going to solder up a couple of Velleman Kits this winter and go from there. I’m sure there will be some more contemporary transistors on the market than those supplied with the kit though.
Robert W:
Lots of black particles may be rubber from alcohol in the petrol. Dumbest government mandate.
Sesman:
Not in this case, Rob. The particles are very ‘crispy’.
Sesman:
Or maybe not? How does the alcohol manifest?
