    I fitted my Hardi pump and it works fine. You can order different fittings on the outlet. The previous owner had fitted the inlet with the original fitting and the outlet with push on fitting. Since the Hardi came with original fittings, I had to find a fitting to convert one to push on. Once the pump was attached, the Hardi inlet did not line up with line on the TF. I used hose connectors fr...

    AC said to fit the biggest filter I could get in, and approved a RaMAir foam one. I only had to move one of the air horns slightly.

    The reason I had a 3 ohm coil was that it was supplied by PowerSpark to "suit" their electronic ignition module. Having watched a lot of AC's videos I rang them to check and they insisted it was correct. They also said I could widen the plug gap. Hey ho.

    The only other thing I would do when an SW5 or similar cam is fitted, is to open up the valve gaps a tad. Mine, Witham similar spec engine did tend to bind up when on continuous load. As when pulling up a long gradient. It's certainly better to have the clearances set too loose than too tight

    Interesting video.

    Les, what was the air filter ACD recommended ?

  • Dave O'Neill 225 July 2026

    You could try petrol.

    BTW after cleaning and lubricating the jet tube and mixture nut, again! The jets can now be adjusted to be flush with the bridge = ,002" & .009" below the bridge. So .0063" TPI is correct.
