glad to see youre fitting the old SS engine, lovely sounding old beasts those. i had one once fitted with incorrect rims, it shot off to the grass verge at every opportunity so i sold it on thinking it was bent, the new owner fitted the correct rims and it handled like a dream, better get used to the expensive world of 4% oil mix though!!!!!!

The SS requires 6%
My Tv drinks 4%, but considering going down to 3% for around-the-town use
