I am unhappy with my throttle response, so I decided to reset it this evening. After the first test run, more tweaking was needed but the engine was too hot to rest my hand on to support myself, so I put an old rag on the rocker cover and set it some more. Then I did another road test. I smelt something hot and pulled onto the drive, opened the bonnet and suddenly with the influx of air, whoosh up she went. The rag was on the N/S exhaust manifold, well it isn't now but my lawns knackered! The rear plug lead was burning so I whipped it off, I now have a 9mm plug lead burn across my fingers, then I emptied a watering can into the engine bay. Fortunately the only damage is a cremated lead. Very, very lucky. I'll pay more attention in future.
John.
