Took the roadster out today and it seems to be running well at last, only a nip round town and a quick squirt up to national speed limit for a couple of miles but after the car driving like a ,isfiring pig i think i've nearly cracked it, still a couple of wee issues, and need a good run to confirm the misfire is sorted, but carb balancing and colortune in the next couple of days and then i think it should all be sorted.



Dodgy video work

So what have you done to get it to run better ?

Looking good Chris, good old alma park, did a lot of my driving and motorbike lessons up there.
Glad your starting to get results

New plugs new leads new dizzy, seemed to make little difference, changed the coil to dizzy lead for a different lead as the one i had a stupid splitfire device in. Found a petrol leak a few weeks ago which i think may have been letting air in the system, Dont know whether it was because its hot today or luck but seems to run ok, need to go on a good run to see if the intermittent give it the beans then misfire is still apparent, enjoyed myself though today, tinkering and a wee drive, forgot how much these things shift. Need to buy a camera mount as well.

that was franky's old car wasn't it? i remember that being quite a nice example.

It still is a very nice example, just not run right since 70 miles into the journey home from picking it up. Oooh as a side point do you still have contact with frank as i have tried to no avail to contact him to get the build paperwork etc, even sent him a letter the other day as all other avenues of contact have come to nothing.

if youre ever up for a blast around id love to come with on my bike if you fancy it? Then if there are any problems etc youve got an extra set of hands?

Miks whenever your free then i would love to take you out for a spin to see if you have any ideas what it might be, not running even close to well enough to be going out on a proper run with a bike yet, getting a bit peed of now.

Well just drop me a U2U anytime in the next 3 weeks whilst im home from uni, can do most evening and weekends so whenever suits you best really
