Mark came over for a brew tonight. He said he warmed it up for 5 or 10 minutes while putting his kit on and it still cut out twice in the first quarter of a mile at tickover as he went to pull away. Looks like we might need to adjust the carb again. Perfectly fine the rest of the way here and then home though.Once he got here and had downed a cuppa, we went out to fit the new rubber spark plug cap that I picked up for him today. It was at that point I noticed that the top 5mm or so of the spark plug had disappeared. Rather embarrassing given how I had laid it on thick that having a loop of copper wire from the spark lead wrapped thus was how we all did it in the 1860's and none of us ever had any trouble. Couldn't say much when he took the top of my spark plug and promised to bring a spare one round "some time"...
