Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG14.10.21 X4384 GOSHAWK 11. X4327 INDUCTION ROAR. We are disappointed with the improvement made by altering a complete set of 12 valves. The engine is still very noisy on the induction. STARTER MOTOR. We have tried the Bendix Pinion again with the thread for the pinion .75" lead triple start. With this the pinion does come out a mesh when the engine starts.
