Bloody Manifolds

My 145s has spent some time in Queanbeyan as I tried to move house to Queensland and sort the "phut phut" coming from the manifold.

I think I changed every hose and retightened every clip.

All to no avail!

Then I read that the manifolds with the flappy thing in them were prone to leaking and cracking.

They had...

And the flaps rattled indicating leaks at each end.

So it got replaced with a solid cast iron manifold

George provided the gaskets by overnight post.
Now she runs with out backfiring on log downhills or stalling at traffic lights!
