| 3. that time, second speed is a little tricky, as the engine does not always respond immediately to a flick of the throttle until thoroughly warm. In any case, I expect you have already dealt with this point for future models, but if any idea occurs to you over the question of detonation, perhaps you would be kind enough to drop me a line. Yours sincerely, Frazer Nash. | ||
