Surely you can just have one 
only if you go to the show, and frankly i dont really want to go becuase i will be fearful someone may think i look like paul o grady, and this may lead to me making a tv appearance

I had the same thing lou 
Revs should stay under 1 when idling but the going up to 2.5 is a bit naughty.

yep all 4 fire very well indeed! it pulls very well, and drives fine, apart from the pinking, and this cutting out!

Pinking can be bad if its long term mate, as the mixture is wrong and the noice is the engine internals iirc ill check hang on.

its about pressure above the piston and when inverse pressure meets the pressure from the valve, the two pressurised areas push fuel onto the top of the cylinder and when it ignites it can and has blown chunks out of the piston, ie yes

otherwise it just shakes the piston about in the cylinder potentially scoring the bore
