Why do i bother, and anyone handy in lincs
Taxed the car early today to take advantage of the good weather, FAIL. Spitting and running like a bag of poo still. Nice and clean now though. Anyone
in lincolnshire good with webers and pintos want to cast an expert eye that would be magic. Otherwise saving the pennies to get it trailered somewhere
to be looked at as its not running well enough to be driven anymore than a couple of miles to get fettled.

Take it to Bogg Brothers. Not too far away I guess....
Or, take them off, flog them, put bike carbs on, have a knees up with the cash left....

aye
Thats the plan, need to find someone to trailer it first, there is a rolling road about 20 miles from me, but bogg are the way to go i think.

webbers
I have recently taken my Webbers off the crossflow and fitted zx9 carbs on a Bogg bros manfold,,,,,,,,,what a difference, clean accelation. smooth
running,and I think better performance, and this is before rolling road session.
The bike carbs are also much lighter.
The only downside for me was I had to cut a large hole in the bonnet to clear the bellmouths and filter.
Regards Denis.
Where did that go?

I am in south Lincolnshire and other than Tiger have not found a single decent rolling road that wants to do 40/45's.
The two best options are Northampton Motorsport or Lynx just outside Northampton

thanks all
Will have a crack at balancing the carbs myself see if that helps, if not can always send them off to bogg brothers or get someone with a trailer to
lend me a hand for some beer tokens. Franky lincoln should be doable fairly easy, there is also sleaford mini centree RR they are a bit out in the
sticks though. Kipper been thinking bike carbs, how easy is it to swap??

Sleaford Mini centre. Actually in Heckington. 500 hp rolling road. Did a full day setting up my tiger on zetec/bike carbs for £100
Absolute bargain.
They also set up my megajolt
Thanks
Dan
EDIT: don't be put off with them out in the sticks. I found them very professional and did a cracking job for the price. £100 is nothing
compared to good set up

sounds like a winner
Dan 8400 was thinking of them being in the sticks a sa disadvatage to drive too, i know they have a good reputtion, now to find someone with a trailer
wanting some beer tokens.

carb swap
Hi there , Fitting the carbs was a doddle, I just provided BOGG BROS with the carbs and two weeks later picked up the manifold.
Fitting is easy with making up the throttle cable the hardest part. You will have to fit a different filter and, as said in my other post, maybe cut a
bigger hole in the bonnet.
I was really fed up with the Webbers, even after a rolling road session , which is'nt cheap, they soon went off.
The difference with the bike carbs is amazing.
Regards Denis.

Dan would like to get the webers running properly then move up to bike carbs i think later on. Especially as the misfire i had/ have isnt guaranteed
to be carb related.
