Adjusted the brakes on my Baja and found out the right rear brake drum was on the verge of coming off, looks like the split pin had sheared, tightened it up with my 1.2m steam pipe and cut 36 ring spanner and all is good again.
Also reset the points gap and the ignition timing, she sounds healthy again.
