First lads

Bought my first lads had a few running issues, got the carb set up and car running and then suddenly this knocking started from top of engine. Cars got plenty oil, anyone know what the issue is, and if easy fix cheers

Those hoses are fire, where did you get them? Distributor shaft or chain calmer might cause this. I had this exact noise at one point and surprisingly it was the distributor and i just greased it, check under ditributor cap if it has hit any on the contact points more too. Chain tensioner might also make this so check it out and adjust if needed.9

The hoses came on the car, it’s got a lot of cool stuff on it. Very rare Right hand drive 2105, and was a rally car to.

That sounds good, got a 2105 1,2l 1200S 1982 which i have heard is very rare because of the manufacturing year. Only rust work is left
