popping ---- no! this was a BIG bang

Post by chrissiefiddle »

ok, we knew there was a hole somewhere in the exhaust, but in fitting an electronic ignition,
hubby gave the little engine a big right foot.....

and


there was a very very big bang.

investigation showed that the rear box had split in two!

anyone know where there are sources of a back box for 1600ct?


(hopefully my son will pt up a piccy for you.)
