rolling road - is it worth it?

[analord]

Hi,

I am thinking of fitting electronic ignition and getting the camper up to Raceshack for a couple of hours on the rolling road. I have a stock 1800 with a pair of Dellorto DRLA36's fitted. They have never been jetted to suit the bus, only set for the engine when i imported them.

can i expect an improvement in performance and is it worth the money?

cheers

It would be worth getting an expert to jet & tune carbs. It should run smoother & be more responsive.

Weather it's worth the money or not is a hard one. If they fix a fault or prevent future problems, then it might be well spent.

your van will be like a different bus when you get your carbs jetted, balanced and set up. but fingers crossed that you havent damaged your engine by running it not set up. i took my old beetle to have it rolling roaded, confident that the bloke would be astonished by my engine building skills. sadly i had ran it in with the carbs too lean and burnt the odd valve causing low comp on one piston :evil: i was gutted.

'Easy'
Is this worth doing for a standard engine set up?
I've just acquired my next early bay ( a 71 South African westy) and was probably just going to pop it along to my local guys at Vanshack (Oxfordshire) for service and switch over to electronic ignition - but thinking would this be a better start? and its certainly no hardship popping down the A38
Thanks
David

Hello mate,

I would say that it is personally because i know Interpro and know the quality of their work. I do not know the other guys but they maybe just as good.

You will get back a van that runs the best it can with what you have, so that cant be bad in my book and worth a few quid for trouble free motoring :wink: give them a call for a rough idea of prices etc. 8)
