  1. Sorry to be the fly in the ointment here and i do appologise to daisy but i feel the need to ask this
    How much did the carb upgrade cost you in pounds
     
  2. £395 as my og solexs was leaking more fuel and every electrical connection had been soldered and the choke kept a getting stuck !!

  3. So wasent an impulse buy it was a need to get back on the road thats cool
     
  4. May i ask if they rejetted them at the rolling road?
     
  5. Solexes are 32/34s, so going to 34icts isn't going to really give you a performance gain... as you're virtually swapping like for like

    Unleaded heads etc

    Its a nice graph hes posted
    I forgot it was a mail order rebuild

    He has nowt to worry about that engine will go on for a long time if he looks after it

    Following him on here over time id say he will be building engines for me in years to come
    The fellas keen and like a sponge to knowledge

    Shall we tag team him to the floor and use mind power to impart the dub knowledge on him

    I kind of like the idea of making him choose a colour of tablet

  9. Huge power losses showing on the run down, 46% at peak engine power. What state is the box in?

  10. It's a 1600 3rib box buddy , this is on my list for the winter I hope get a higher ratio gearbox but can't see there being much difference 1600-1700 but still want 1
     
  11. You might find you need a bit more poke to successfully pull a higher ratio.
