| Engine is fine! phew. All tuned and sorted today. leaving it there overnight to make sure clearances are ok in the morning and that it starts ok from cold. even power curve and around 85bhp at the mo. red line at 6500rpm ish. so need to source a 2ltr bus box now as gearing is too short. happy dayz  |

| i would of thought (i'm no expert) that a cammed 1911 ......would be far more powerful than a 1641 ,in standard form .... you must of mis read the dyno read out dude

| replaced the brake vac servo hoses today! were looking very worn and had become solid. I reckon they'd not been changed ever.. Cleaned and checked the non return valve while I was there also.. ...... next job is to check the servo bellows ... |

| it's going to go back to interpro on tues. it's costing me around £50-60 a week to run to South Bristol (40miles a day) didn't have throttle opening full when pedal to the metal... also, the idle set up is weird. left hand carb looks normal. a few turns on the screw right hand carb (1&2) has idle screw in loads.. must be open a fair bit. Jason also said he had to richen that carb up loads to get it to run smooth. this was the side that had/has the popping in the carb is this normal or is there a cause ? |
