Also remove any unnecessary weight, internal roll bar, bull bar, tow bar and carry minimum junk you need for peace of mind. Only buy the petrol you need for your immediate use, as transporting a full tank of petrol everywhere doesn't help. Of course drive carefully and anticipate road conditions and other hazards to keep revs down etc,

Happy motoring Jim.

Damnit yes its a 410.. no point in messing around with the carb...

While it would be great and more economical having an MPFI 410.... isn't that only a 2hp power increase?

Edit: ignore that, 10hp

isn't the f10d a 3 cylinder? and does it bolt up to a 410 gearbox?

f10 is a 4 cylinder version of the 3 cylinder engine lol

apparently its pretty similar to a standard 410 engine, but people aren't entirely sure about the internal components!
