All cleaned up, new coils and consumables, new bases and shafts to suit grey motor and bench tested. Solid core wires for best grunt (and to annoy the Zim Pirates 🤣).

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Damn WA club. Visit your house when you’re not home on a club run, drink your beer, use the last sheet of toilet paper, then leave their magnetos behind :lol:
