| ENGINE. No misfires after fitting new HD. {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} 15 Lodge Plugs. Power and acceleration up to standard. Carburetter luffs up on pick up. Engine gears rattle running light. Oil pump noisy. GEARBOX. Change of gear unreliable, selector lever loose on shaft. STEERING. Good standard. BRAKES. Improving with use - now fair standard. CLUTCH. The clutch was not so fierce in engagement, no sign of slipping. SPRINGING. Very good for cornering with maximum control, on hard side with two persons only, slow speed with minimum position of control is very good. CENTRALIZED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. The control pump emitted a squeak during the afternoon's run and continued during remainder of mileage. This made no difference to the loadings which remained consistent with the control position. Oil leaks negligible. ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. Gave no trouble. G.W.H. | ||
