Hi everyone,
Really appreciate the advice; will keep you posted as I repair the engine, and tune.
Has anyone used a Gunson Colortune on a two stroke?
Cheers,

Never heard of a Gunson Colortune looked it up definitely sounds interesting I’ve always tuned mine by listening to the engine.

I've got one that I bought to use on a Triumph GT6 that I had dreams of restoring. However, my ambition was way ahead of my talent, so the car was sold and the Gunson is gathering dust on a garage shelf.

I don't think that mine works on two strokes.

Yet to put mine to the test; will probably try on DT360A before the 400 is repaired.
I am told the oil in two stroke fuel makes the blue colour a bit deeper.

Those BSA twins look interesting to me. Is one plunger & far one swinging arm. Picture blurs up expanding. Had many B31 & 33 swinging arm models. & even a plunger M20. All bikes i should still have bugger it.
