| continued General Remarks. Water & Mud entered undershield & was thrown up by flywheel through slots in Pedal Gap Plate, covering windscreen & under side of canopy. Back Springs seem rather weak for the body. Body gets very hot from exhaust possibly on account of snout of silencer facing axle. W. Hitching. Driver. | ||
