          me thinks he means exhaust tracts in the head, carbon build up.

                  Take it to you local engine shop and ask them to clean it. Mine charge £10 a head and they come back looking like new.

                      I have been cleaning my head , My mate discussed using a flap disc to remove the carbon build up , is this ok or a little too abrasive . Has anyone else used the flap disk on it .

                        My Mate Duncan has done this with the face of his one , now he is having to use grinding paste to remove the scores .

                        Dont think i will bother doing it now .

                          Sounds like a right 'school boy' error. Nice avatar.
