Parked my '09 AVL several months ago due to hard starting, metallic top end noise, and constant kickback. 8,000 miles. Need a laundry list...Want reliability above all. I definitely want to drill out the case to go back to the old iron barrel style breather. ( for off road use only of course:) I read the previous tread on piston/ cylinder specs...don't have that kind of expertise ...but want to upgrade piston for my peace of mind, and anything else I may have overlooked. Was thinking 32 mm Amal mk1,or TM32 mentioned in a recent thread.
Reliability and peace of mind is my main goal, not necessarily performance.....
Thanks, Matt in Glendale
