    Are you going as far as Cork? If so give Noel Barret a call.
    If not
    I think there is a shop in Ennis
    >> THIS ONE <<
    If not, then they may be able to advise you of where to go :cool:

    Optifuel is finally available in Ireland. I got mine today and the great thing is you get a litre more than other brands for near the same price. I will let you know when I get to use it but I believe its good stuff:)

    Uses fully synthetic oil and the bottle is cheaper and bigger than anything else that I know off in Ireland. Try it out for yourself....

    Hi Sly. I got mine from a friend who bought a van in the UK and brought back a case for me to try. I am aware that it is Ireland now but could not wait, I will be buying it from you guys soon. I will keep my eyes on the Optifuel website for news and updates. Thanks.

    Does anyone know why my cen magnum wont engage second gear. I believe there is a tension spring that needs to be adjusted. Any help would be great.

    Those add to cart links aren't working for me on discount toys.

    When I click the link it get's me to the paypal login page. When I login then it just brings me to my own paypal account. No checkout process!

    Hi Workaccount, PM me where you are in Mayo and will try see about gettting it to you....
    We have guys in the east, south and west of the country that can possibly get it around if there are issues getting it from a shop.

    In the coming month or so, we will also be to arranging a funfly to promote the fuel where we will help tune (if needed) your engine and supply a free tank (or two) to see if you like it. Will post details when its orgainized.

    If not, Then the engine may not be reaching optimum rev range to engage second gear.:confused:

    I had the same problem with the cen fun factor st2 i had the set screw screwed in way to far, but if you are going to start messing aroud make sure to use a bit of thread lock because they do go flyin out and are next to impossible to find (better chance of winning the lotto:D) hope this helps!!

    Maybe you missed my question above?

    If the engine does not hit the proper rev range then it simply will not change into second . ;)
