it flys

[Jiffer]

yesterday spent most of the day on the fosters and messing with the 40s on my mk1 gt, after a poor show at the tuners on the the rolling road I decided to have a good play my self.

I took the 40s of my mk2 and put them on my mk1, jetted to what I thought was best and this morning took it for a test run ( didnt hold out much hope)

But its goes like stink and with the new steering conversion feels out of this world on the corners

It still has a slight miss fire at low reves but when its going its excellent, going to have another play now.

what I found was two of the O rings on the rubish nylex sanwich plates were half out and the tuner had a different sized idle jet in one

the O ring thing is obviously my fault as I mounted the carbs and I only discovered this when I sprayed wd40 at the manifold.

the carbs are set up with:

30mm chokes 4.5 auxialry ventoris

45f9 idle

main jet 110

emullsion tube f11

aircorector 180

on a 15prexflow

with a2 cam

I am a lot happier with it now but if anyone sees anything wrong with the above let me know

Just need to sort the other set out and get them on the mk2

Well done Jiffer, always a great feeling when you have a running problem and only really find out if you have fixed it when you press the loud pedal.

 

Although my guesses were off the mark I did know it would be something simple!

 

Someone else said on the previous thread that the carbs looked like they were mounted too tightly. I reckon he was right and the O-rings were squeezed out. Hindsight is 20/20 In any case well done for perservering!

good work fella bet your chuffed to bits!!

 

"got to love it when a plan comes together" Lmao

[Tom]

And your tuner didn't find that?! Money back time

 

 

Glad you got it sorted!

[petrolhead]

Yes, I also thought that

I went to an OSF rolling road day years ago and the first thing they noticed was the huge leak from the misab's, I knew about the air leak but didn't have enough time to fix it.

 

I'm sure he should have noticed that when trying to balance the carbs

 

Well done for sorting it yourself though m8, glad you never gave up on it
