mickandpaula101:
back together now and a little sprightlier but not for long i can spin the valves in their seats by holding the springs and twizzling.setting the clearances ,the screwdriver on the rocker was opening the valves without any effort. still runnning though and better than before amazing.lockdown has mae us here closer than ever. hope you are all okay.learnt how to play bring me sunshine on the uke today. and it does take care

I use a good guy in Retford for head work and hes top notch, but retford may be a bit far for you dude.
