i have put a few post on here about the trouble i am haveing with pinto
is there anyone willing to come to scunthorpe and have a look at it for me i will pay of course dont know what else to do

i like these vague questions

whats actually wrong with it?

i work in scunthorpe might be able to add my expertise if u give a brief description of whats wrong with it Rick

HI to start with what cam shaft have you got ?
To set it up right we need to know this

as a example a piper 255 mild road is 113 at full lift
a 285 ultimate road is 108 % full lift
I don't know how mutch you have spent so far but for about £80 you could have it at Bogg Brothers on there rolling road
some one on here may know the right price

all i can get out of the guy who fitted it is that it is a genuine ford fast road cam and he did a stage 2 head i got a brand new 32/36 carb for him to fit with it and all he says it is that .the car will run but wont rev proply its been to 3 garages know and they cant sort it hense the ask for help

Are you using a dizzy or megajolt?
has the timing been checked and the cam belt fitted right
i am just thinking what it could be apart from the carb

have you set the valve clearances correctly they are normally a different setting to the standard due to overlap

all i can say is that the garage who did the work say they have and i would not know where to start

Hi Rosey1
i live 4 miles north east of scunthorpe, i could call and see you if you like and see what i can do. Although my work is mainly developing and modifying cylinder heads i have used several of these engines myself in the past several years.At the moment i am not at home, but will be back in scunthorpe area next week.

Hi your carb is a 32/36 dgv ? dose it have a manual choke ?
If so can you drive the car and pull the choke to see if it revs / pulls better if so the jets must be to small
what do other people think to this
