    Should be plenty of those flywheels around. Bucketeers have been ditching them in favor of mx ignitions since the beginning of time.

    I think I may still have some 185 bits laying around, but would imagine they would be different sizes. Will go through some boxes and see what is there though, cos I am not really sure what is in some of them now.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Let me know if unstuck doesn't find one for you. There will be one in the garage I can send down if need be.

    Where are the main seals?

    usually starts and idles fine.
    sometimes starts and idles high, but wont come down. giving the throttle a quick sometimes brings it back down - but only sometimes.
    usually starts fine, then when you rev it, the idle stays up high where you revved it to.

    Have checked for vacuum leak - couldnt find one.

    Have removed and cleaned / lubed throttle cable - not the issue.

    what else should I look at?

    I’ve got the same issues. Let me know if you suss it and I’ll do the same. I’ve spent hours on it !
    Cheers Mirkie
