hi martin
i changed the oil about a week ago, loud tappets sounds that eventually quieten to a singular tap tap tap sound.
also the other problem i forgot to mention before is the auto choke doesnt seem to work when i crank her over in the morning, if i turn the key without depressing the throttle it barley ticks over, almost on the point of stalling, the once i give her a blip on the throttle she'll pick up and run at just over 1000 revs, once its warm it doesnt seem to happen, only on cold start, i wonder if any of you chaps may have any ideas?
cheers
steve
