Just thinking out loud , could you run the engine with citric acid as coolant, will circulate it and bring it up to temperature...maybe the only downside is that the radiator fins might not like it ?

Re: Engine won't switch off
" Fortunately there's an engine kill switch so I use that! "
What does this " kill switch do? Remove the 12V from the coil ? disconnect the points?
Could be a clue...

Re: Engine issue
Come on Phil, now could be the time to post some definitive pics of the oil filter, dizzy , fittings and mounting brackets that define the different 1275s..
I'd like to see the differences ?
Pretty please...

Engine number
Dear All
Am slightly concerned about the authenticity of an engine number plate, I know new ones can be ordered of Fleabay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393026500254 , but are they the same?
Can someone tell me the height of the genuine Numbers/Letters on the engine plate tag?
Thanks
John ;-)
