[QUOTE="StuF, post: 574085, member: 17262"] Check your valve clearances and the operation of the rockers - its how I realised I had a bent valve. If nothing is apparent there you could always strip the heads off and check the condition of the cylinder/pistons. Easily done in a day and not too difficult - at this point the standard pistons and barrels could be swapped out for 1641 ones if your after a small increase in power. The cost should be less than £250 As for Carbs - Im running Weber ICT 34's and they are great, however if your feeling flush some Dell 36's would be a great choice. I think both are available from Eurocarb. Around £300 mark I think. Best to source a VS Exhaust from Dan on here - he has sorted several of us out with good deals. But without stripping it down a little it will be difficult to diagnose - cant think a whole new engine is the answer though. [/QUOTE]
