Bonjour Nicholas A morgo pump is good on a MkII square four as the original pumping system was unrelaible, the piston pump fitted to singles was fine so I do not understand why people fit a morgo to a single. John Bradshaw has also had problems with a morgo on a single, I recommend to return to the ...
