Re: sq4 magneto instalation
Hi Henning. When I first started up my 1945 SQ after restoration I had a problem with a major oil leak coming from the back of the timing case where the mag armature enters. As you show in your first picture taken from a workshop manual there is a boss that protrudes into the timing case that is sup...

Re: engine spocket sq4 1939 4G
I run a 26T sprocket on my 1946 4G having felt the 24T was a little to low geared.

Re: SQ4 4G carb problems
Hi Pete, I've taken the air correction jet out and given it a good blow through. Can't take her out until tomorrow to find out if she's sorted. I'll let you know. Cheers John

Re: SQ4 4G carb problems
Thank you for your responses, I have just downloaded Instruction Booklet for Self-Starting Solex Carburettors and reading it does sound like the correction jet may be the problem as the cough happens when you first open the throttle after a steady slow run, say through a 30mph area, and then she acc...
