Final shots (apart from the door pulls, which are another struggle).

Mine have to come off every year as something goes wrong or gets too stiff in the door.

I can see what’s wrong from here.

Valence is the wrong colour!

Still on rolling road.



10pm
Oil/filter change, wheel nut check, headlight adjustment (which turns into glue n/s lens back on after it falls off), adjust gearshift, drive round the block (gearshift worse ), check oil, close and lock unit, lock yard, lock gate and then home for 11pm.

What did it make?

What did it make?

Just an initial set up, until I’ve got some miles on it then we’ll go for the power pulls.
The jetting was totally out as the carbs came, it was undriveable the way it was.

Stage one completed
190 miles down

Obligatory train pic



Stage two done
Another 152km on the clock. The weather is a bit grim here, cold, grey with sleet and hail showers. Waste of time cleaning the bus yesterday.

It was over fuelling so much that unburnt 98 octane was coming out of the exhaust slip joints.

Bit fat then unless your compression ratio is 9.5:1 or more (which I doubt it is) I’d just run it on 95. You’re not going to see any benefit from the extra money you’re spending on the higher octane. You’ve got Teflon fuel lines to so no need to worry about the e10 scaremongering either.
