(3) (8) New Magneto Drive. This could not be observed. (9) Whittle Fan Belt. This could not be observed. (10) Large Carburetter. I did not think this engine remarkable for its power considering the light load carried, but the question of power is almost impossible to gauge unless one is driving. (11) New Floorboard Ventilation. I did not occupy the front seat during this run so could not observe this point. (12) Steering pivot bushes with grooves. This point could not be observed. (13) 50% Weaker Coil. No pre-ignitions occured during the run. (14) Flat Oil Splash Guards. These were apparently satisfactory as regards clean exhaust. (15) New Type Engine Coupling (oil retaining) I did not observe this point. | ||
