    It sounds like you need to retard the ignition timing a degree or two. Knocking like you describe is bad for the pistons and cylinder head. This is also a symptom of poor grade fuel. How old is the petrol?

    It's running on new fuel pretty much most of the time these days - I test drive it regularly - but I'm sure the tune needs a tweak, so I'll look into it.
