Hi , man at Wickford is giving me a quote . See what happens. Bob,thank you. Yes, if the timings out it does liken to pistons in a car's engine rising at the wrong time and smashing in to a valve! Hope you get it sorted, I replaced a needle bar and reset the timing about 6 months ago, occasionally ...

Do you know how to reset/check timing?
