With a coil pack or cylinder down, the unbalance is more noticeable at idle speeds, it reduces as RPM is increased.

what version are you? i got 4 used ones for V1/2, done about 6000 miles, all work fine. £60 the lot if you're interested. I work near chingford so not a million miles from you depending on what part of essex you're in.

early coilpacks (The ones I have) look like this :-

i think the later ones had slightly more square coil packs but I can't say for sure as I have only ever had V1/2
