Hi Michael and All,
LT has a BETA JD3. When I first had her the revs were governed to 1500. The
maximum I get now is about 1100, result of me fiddling about with things I
don't understand. I have been meaning to get it corrected, but to be honest
most of our chugging in the last few years has been on the canal and it is
not a problem. LT is now going back to Evesham and the River Avon, so I
think I need an expert to tweak her.
Regards
Andrew & Wendy from The Cut
