Going back the 23 years got good backup and sensible helps to a problem, and looks like the new engine might have had known ignition issues and the firm should I would have thought known this and sorted it, and fist engine also had carburettor issues especially at idle, new ones have fixed air bypass adjustments? where as the old were adjustable. The carburettor was changed on the first return and it did run much better at idle but was still running rich at half to three quarter throttle openings on light load however not right. and ran at full speed made a lots of hot air and with loud exhaust note. I was sent a comparison chart why as not of the early 2001 engine to compare they said new engines ran cooler to what, well the old engine doesn’t even get in a sweat and quieter in comparison also very miserly in fuel consumption. So have had this before to save the Planet we seem to make engines to use more fuel to generate heat. We did a side by side test, engines were shown to be cold, started and allowed to warm, temperature shown, both then ran flat out, that showed a huge difference in exhaust temperatures and looking at the plugs of the new one and its doing the same as must have been very hot indeed.
