Also worth getting bio fuel friendly hose, ethanol is known to rot older type of lines. Been there done that.

only one little blue potentiometer and that screw plus the uk chip of course

I can confirm to motor change as I've just had to do it myself. Desolder the four pins first then use an 8mm hss drill bit on the riveted bits. Do it by hand and very slowly. This gets rid of the lip perfectly without damaging the board. Then wiggle free..again, gently. Replace with good motor and back in business.

Easy way to tell is the brass screw holder next to the 5k symbol top right of the board if the dial is facing you. On the japs it's on the 100k one

I can't see why not. It's the circuit and the chip that'll be different. All they do is tell the needle how to move. Gotta be worth a punt.

If the circuit board is an actual original UK one don't bin it. It's possible to replace the motor from another less desirable one. They'll all use the same motor and you've only to grind off the pressed lip and de solder the pins.

whats happened there is the shaft came out when fitting the dials. ruins the hair spring in the motor.

I got parts off Mike a couple of weeks ago do unless he's had complications he's about

get bio friendly fuel hose. The ethanol is causing issues in old lines.

As title doesn't really matter if it's still attached. Willing to travel

I've been using their maxlife oil. Sorted the oil leak out i had and it's running fine.

I've been using a valvoline oil in mine for a while. Works just fine.

Don't rule out the fuel ecu. It has cold circuit, maybe you have a corroded joint on the board, just enough to give irratic signals to the main.

It breaks probably because some people just yank it off. It's held in by little blue clips and a nut and bolt on either end(accessible once boot trim is removed) If you need to remove it just use long reach pliers and be gentle. It's it length that makes it fragile. Also the brake light bit is still there and has foam around it to seal. The price difference between them is absurd.

recommended is 10 40 semi
