Wicked work, Duvel!

Another common problem is air leaks from the carburettor gaskets - i.e. the ones that go each side of a spacer between the carb and the inlet manifold. Its quite easy to make your own with a cornflakes packet, or even some proper gasket material and this might give a further improvement. If you chan...

Carb idle solenoid. Look no further.

Epic work.

Epic work, nice scenery. Whereabouts are you? I should remember but can't, sorry!!

Hello, I think the propshaft is unique to the 340 and is very hard to find nowadays. I don't have much experience of propshaft problems, thankfully, so sorry I can't be more helpful in diagnosing the problem.

Good luck. Where are you ;-?

Excellent work. You don't (or certainly didn't) see much about the 300 series in those magazines.

Any horrors will be well out of sight so if you can get...

The renix is very reliable and I am not sure you can check it other than looking for a regular spark. It could also be worth cleaning the flywheel sensor and testing the idle solenoid on the carburettor (just pull off the wire and it should click every time you reconnect it with the ignition on).
