Hello, Like you all I have had problems in the past with unleaded petrol degrading when left for any length of time, after having the magneto rewound two years ago I found that last year the problems didn’t seem so bad, so how about this…. For various reasons I have not used the Chummy since the Malvern rally in mid October, I went into my garage with both of my Sevens covered in condensation (which they have been for weeks) Turned the handle half a dozen times with the petrol on, switched on, second turn away she went, ticking over smoothly after a couple of seconds!!! So what's changed ? or is it that most of us are running on feeble sparks? Regards Ian
