Just started up my mk1 cabby from the winter and noticed a ticking noise and the engine is stuttering. Does this sound ok ( see video)?

10w 40 semi synthetic oil is what you need to use.
Give it a good service and check the spark plugs, after a year they should be fine but when was the dissy cap, rotor arm and HT leads last changed?

A compression test will at least eliminate any serious issues, so a good starting point.
