(2) Could the inner tube be - Make the workmanship easy and practical, save every fraction of weight, make it as simple as possible, with efficiency. I do not think N. scheme 2100. is so. I noticed on 7-EX. which is here that the petrol gauge goes anti-clockwise. I have corrected this previously and got it right on the last 20HP., now it is wrong again for no reason. I am very pleased with this tank filter, and the instrument grouping. Something should be done to make it standard, after rendering it perfect and practical. I do not know if it is so.
