    hi can any one help when accelerating it tends to backfire in the carb .I think the main jets are over fuelling and have heard of a Marcus conversion but don't know where to get it or to the size of the main jets. I replaced the engine with a cvrt :nut: jaguar engine

    I filled mine with the correct oil and tapped a thread into a spare filler plug that would take a brass inertube valve .Pressurised it and checked for leaks it was perfect. may have a filler plug and valve in the stores.
