The body alone only weighs 30kgs. On 12/02/2019 at 22:20, Truenotch said: Crank seals / leaky crank case issues can be hard to diagnose too. Apparently it can make an engine appear to be running rich (and sound like it's 4 stroking), when actually it's leaning out. 2 strokes can definitely be challenging little things! But we definitely need to see more of them out there . For sure, it did fell like it was a lean issue. Will pull the motor out and chuck a new set in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brocky41 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Well what a machine - great work on the rebuild too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 After you told me about this thread when we met in Blighty 2 weeks ago, I've finally sat down and read it. I wish I'd found it earlier. So cool. Top work on the sympathetic rebuild. It looks great. Also-So neat that Dennis went along to leadfoot with you. I could picture him having a great old time. Presuming he's still able to drive it is there any plan to find a location where he can do so? Fuck I love small cars, especially sports cars that handle well. This car is all that. Thanks for sharing. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98cc Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Cheers Mate, yeah was bloody good to meet up. Dennis had an amazing time at Leadfoot, it was the first proper car event he'd been to in over 15 years and he yarned to heaps of people about the Spider which was really neat. He does still drive so it would be awesome to get him back in it, will hopefully be able to sort something out. Really looking forward to getting into this when i get back home, pulling the engine out and replacing the seals should be pretty straight forward and then it will be time to have a third driving session! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
