We are off to Cornwall this weekend for 2 weeks, so booked a session at InterPro to have a once over and properly set up the new carbs befor the off...........
Hats off to Jason @ Interpro, started by checking plugs, then compression before checking/adjusting the rockers. The compression was 120 on each which im pleased with, the carbs came from Eurocarbs and was a SP kit but even so were very lean so the jets needed replacing. The upshot was that it produced 54.5Bhp
Thats from a stock 1600SP with 34ICTs and a Turbo Thomas exhaust and an unknown electronic points set. Deffo worth the effort ide say for modest outlay.
The main findings from this was that i was running a Vac dissy with no mechanical advance, meaning that under load at full throttle i had no advance, meaning no power was being produced........so Jason found some spares and made a good 2nd hand unit that solved the problem..........He said he had only seen 2 previously like this.
The result is power through the rev range and it made 83mph on the rollers :lol: If only wind resistance was non existant on the road!!
Anyone changing carbs/exhaust setup i wholely recomend getting it properly set up after.
Interpro is just North or Bristol and get my vote 8)
