    Rolling road carb tune

    The carbs on my car were completely refurbished recently and the dizzy was also rebuilt. Since then, it's been popping a bit - not just down hills, but during low rpm steady driving. So - yesterday, I took it over to my local rolling road for a check over. He found that the .60 idle jets were all smaller which he thought was more than likely due to them being screwed in too tight and deforming the jet ends. The idle mix was set for each venturi and synced up and it's now much better.

    That sounds much better Justin and I assume it pulls better too.

    I never had any problems pulling when I had my Strat.....actually, I'm still doing OK even without. Nobody tell Leah!

    Be very careful on the rolling road with the back clam open.
    This is what happened to my Hawk!

    Yes, I've had the singed paintwork too, but not as bad as the above.
