Hello SAHTuning, I used my hand, it doesn't take a lot to pop it out unless the rubber has gone very hard? Cutting is another option if it's difficult to move. You can reach round to keep pressure on teh screen while pulling teh cord. Incidenatally I use single flexible electrical cable rather than ...

Hello Peter,

very often, due to gearlever movement, one one of the switch wires breaks where it exits the gearlever. That's the first place I'd look.

Hello SAHTuning,

just push the screen gently from one corner. I don't use any mastic when replacing it and also find it quite easy to replace it without any assistance, being fairly flat it is not difficult to fit.

Hello Mike, I would have to disagree with your suggestion, on two points, it is the steel backing that need to be made thinner and that it is next to impossible to lap a piece such as a thrust washer and keep it parallel all over.

Hello llessur,

personally if it's running well enough and as you say there are no other signs then I would run it and keep an eye on the oil and water. Although not a major job to change a head gasket it would seem a pity if you remove the head and find no problem?

Hello llessur, the thing to remember is that the mixture affects the timing required so set the mixture first. They should not need much adjustment from the factory setting, if they do there is something wrong somewhere. Dynamic timing as Tony suggested is a good way to go. If you have a timing ligh...
