A few months ago I bought a set of Magnecor ignition leads from ebay , constructed for the Morgan Three Wheeler :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnecor-KV85-Ignition-HT-Leads-Wires-Cable-Morgan-3-Wheeler-2-0-V-Twin/401811123569?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
This was on the back of a thread discussing these.
Reason for the post - they do seem to make a positive difference, especially to starting.
Instead of the usual "Kachunk-Kachunk-Broooom" as it starts , on first fitting I got a 'KaBroom" - VERY satisfying !
Nothing else had changed.
So satisfied customer and a reccomended upgrade.
Also worth mentioning I fitted these double loop cable ties :

to replicate the factory ones I had to cut off.

Thanks for the advice! All I need now is to find where cylinders 3 and 4 are  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTQwN1gxNjAw/z/kewAAOSwXfNdJcEx/$_57.JPG)

That is a generic photo. The price on ebay is for a pair. Mine starts pretty well with the factory leads, but I might give these a go.

That engine looks really smooth. Why do our engines leap around so much?

That engine looks really smooth. Why do our engines leap around so much? I agree this looks very static/stable , though the exhaust noise suggests a healthy punch ! Though its not visible I wonder if its mounted top and bottom which will restrain it more. Though I think this would be unusual - all bike engines I have ever seen have bottom mounts only, like the M3W.

I wonder why Morgan didnt follow the top mount route ?
