Hopefully it will run by tomorrow,will see.

Re: My Lowlight SC
Hey Chris, I like, very nice.
Side note: its Monday 31st, at about 4pm.....and Chris is stuck next to the freeway, sadly another one bites the dust. How unlucky can this engine be???

Re: My Lowlight SC
The number plate... if you stretch the imagination, (not too far... Vader), it reads 'sucker'. Well to me anyways...

I don't know what the hell is going on.The tin is tight,so is the timing and it get enough air.I don't over rev it and only do 80km/h.
I give up.

Re: My Lowlight SC
Could a fault in the gearbox cause this kind of engine failure?
I would also give up, but the thought of the toyota motor! no Chris, say it isn't so

Re: My Lowlight SC
I just can't have it standing.If it stands,I don't earn money,something I can't afford at the moment.
At least with the Toyota engine I know it will be reliable.
