Ho hum ..... overheating still and blown the head gasket!! I stripped it down and had the head skimmed by about 5 thou and put it all back together with new gaskets all round. Now I have a new problem .... it starts, but then races away for about 10 seconds and then dies ....!
I've checked for leaks in the manifold .... I've checked and double checked the spark timing...... I've checked and reset the carbs ..... but it still has the same problem. Most odd because it was working fairly well before I stripped it down.
Any ideas from you guys much appreciated
