Nice work stu, just as well your giving it a full going over before ragging it round knockhill for the first time.

All interesting stuff Stuart????
Just a thought about the black greasy stuff you mentioned on the coils!
The rubber sections on the bottom of the coils are there to keep muck and water out. They can stick sometimes, making the coils VERY difficult to remove. Not sure they?re like that on the Suzuki but they are on a lot of cars.
I once broke a coil because of this
problem. I used to smear a little rubber grease on ?em when I had my garage business ????
I never broke another coil after that. Just a thought????

Don?t know why the question marks came up. Should have been smilies ????

Sheesh that piston looks like it needs some serious cleaning.

Good call RR, but I'm a step ahead..I had bought some Dielectric Silicone Grease for that very use, it's clear, spreads and adheres great, engineered not to conduct electricity and is what should have been used on the stalks...

A small tin should last forever pretty much

I'm hoping it's just a rich mixture having been run on the choke last few fire ups...

Hopefully without it breaking down Kenny... long as everything goes back the way it came off haha
