Thanks for your thoughts. Zerorev; that was a great idea. Just tried it. The engine starts great, then dies as before after a few seconds, and the strobe stops flashing too. The condenser is brand new, so will investigate rest of ignition. I suppose the strobe will continue flashing even if the plug is wet??

Hi all, Frustration with my 248. Just rebuilt with new piston, rings and rewound ignition. ran ok at first, but after around 10 mins,it just cut out. Plug saturated. Now, with clean plug, it starts first or second kick, runs for a couple of secs, then stops. Plug saturated with fuel. The carb is an Amal concentric mk.2. The float is good. Float needle fine, and fuel shuts off about 3mm below top of float bowl. Am I missing something? If I put a mikuni on, what size and jetting. Any thoughts welcome.

Could anyone tell me what the BTDC setting for a 248 is, either degress or mm. Have found settings for just about everything else! Thanks

Hi guys, Have just started trials after a long gap, on a fairly tidy 248. Can anyone give me any recommendation for final drive sprockets. I'm thinking mine may be a little tall in first. Cheers
