@trusty220 Hello there. I hope you can give me advice on carb settings for a Ransomes Motor Tripple with a MAG engine. The carb has the mixture setting facing the driver.

    Thank you very much for that detailed explanation on testing the ignition. I will report back at the weekend on how I’ve got on.
