Jammer RV12. is die carbs absoluut reg gebalanseer met mekaar, is die sparkplug gaps 100% die regte groote, en check of die twee chockes presies dieselfde trek wanneer die chocke getrek word. Kyk sommer ook dat beide float levels dieselfde is.
Ek hoop jy kom reg
Groete

I've just accepted that my trike wants a new battery 2 -3 years. Buy the best you can afford and the biggest which can fit.

If you want to spin a 582 like a top, get one of these from your local hobby shop.

Of course, if your regulator isn't 100% it will make for a very interesting mid-air bonfire :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: .
