[QUOTE="Baldrick, post: 367098, member: 13440"] Thanks Rob Looks like I will be giving these guys a call to see it I can get in at short notice. Diagnosis is not good. At best the inlet valve is stuck open, at worse the engine is in a bad state. I have a balance pipe between the dual carbs and each time the engine backfires (pops) you can feel the pressure back up through the carbs and hit the balance pipe. The RAC guy suspects that if it is not a valve then pressure is blowing from one cylinder into the next. So bad news whatever. Not bad for a £3000 engine that has covered only 2500 miles. Feeling pretty pi$$ed...still, I suppose I can have a few beers as I'm not going to be driving anywhere for a while. Look like I could be trailered home for the second time in 3 years. Thanks again Andy [/QUOTE]
