Careful with the keyster kits, as they jets/needles are meant to not be very accurate copies.

Hi Sean i purchased the kit a couple of years ago approx £140.00 and purchased a variable meter from them afterwards found this to be easier to set amp/volts on from these people
gaterosplating.co.uk/Zinc-Plating-kit .Lets say my first few attempts were not great but practised for a while and hopefully getting better at it .

just replaced the torsion spring on gear shaft thats from a powervalve now in great condition no grove on shaft ,so after mod and a £13 gear shaft from ebay hope no oil leak when built . had to grind head from pin to remove the roker arm etc from shaft to replace torsion spring then ask a nice friend just to weld over the head area to form a solid fix.Sure there was an easier way but couldnt see it  |
