The size of his house.

Well if it happens standing still you CAN try a gravity tank and see if it still occurs. If it doesn't you know that it is something in the fuel supply.

Happens standing still. Very predictable at 2780 rpm. I can let it idle and run up to that point, but as soon as it hits it there's no going back. The most confusing bit is where it happened whilst I was working on the car, but I've reversed all...

As Stanleysteame says, keep tinkering and checking results over a measured distance I used a lamp post as a marker then power to the fire station, passed the lamp post at 30mph in third and gunned it to the fire station, ,that's a real time...

POST of the week award. This week and next week :cool:

It is so flipping hot here that we can neither of us be bothered to go down to the pool. This sounds mad, but we made the decision from the off to not have one you can nearly, or even probably, dive into from the living room french doors. I'd...

Also I was in pain commuting with gears so I've gone auto. It wasn't far from you I am collecting it Dan.

Congrats WL, a good call. :D

Well I own another Freelander. Got fed up of worrying about the coolant system in the Kuga and it goes next Saturday

Wow! that's PROPER tent....and a half! Do you always have such a big erection in your back garden? :)

Looks great! Totally get what you mean about a tent you can stand up in. We too used to camp at shows in one you couldn't. got to be a right pain. So wishing you many more shows in which you can use it!!:):):)

Me noo tentacle, set up in the grounds of Wimblowdriver Towers (ie the back garding)

Yes, I am heeding what both you and @landowner and others are saying. It is a 50 year old Mini with A-Series technology with no ECU etc. etc. I only need to get it running sweet not "perfect". That'll do me fine. I am pleased to have got it...

Sounded a bit derogatory to be honest with underlyong suggestion of big wheel and “looks tough” but no substance. I won’t use the same judgement and suggest you are “just pootling down to Waitrose” In yours as I don’t know you from Adam. I...

And if you'd read it, you'd know it's not there ... @sierrafery , @gstuart

This thread is hilarious. Sooooo many people searching for a non-existent plenum thingy!!! Why don't people read a whole thread, it ain;t exzctly very long!! 🤣 🤣 🤣

On what is likely to be a final remark to do with this as I think you have got it aabout right now, this trubble you have had reminds me very vividly of the same trouble, sort of, that I had with W's Porsche copy kit car. The engine was a tuned...

Ah, is this wot you meant?

So, up at dawn this morning to make a start on the apple harvest. Dreadful this year compared to last. We will get a fairish bit of juice but nowhere near the bumper crop we had last year. We still have stuff to spare in both countries. Good...

I have to agree wholeheartedly with this. Trying to get perfection without an ECU etc is flipping impossible with a carb.

It gets complicated when you try too hard to make things perfect, ... it's a Mini :) Did you find out if you have a 10 deg dizzy ? If so set timing so you have over 30 deg at 4000rpm but no more than 35. If it pinks low down then you have the...

Suns oot sky is black over the hills, coffee is slurped time to make some noise..im off out to cut some steel. Njoy yer day peeps. :):)

Thats not the image I had haha

Did I? I thought I just said that I thought the rolling road guy was a cowboy. If he tunes engines as you say, then apart from the exhaust analyser, then he is doing it the same way as I would. I don't have a Snap-on strobe, my strobe is a Gunson...

Sorry, the pic of that plug was from the guy AC DODD who you professed a dislike for. His day job is tuning SU carb'd engines. I am going to be doing a bit more miles tomorrow going to that show so I will pull the plugs after that round trip...

Morning All. :D Off out for a paper, BBRS. :) Supposed to be a nice day, very still and cool ATM. Have a good day! :D

It's a dig at that England test cricketer that played with one arm yesterday as last man in (one arm in a sling).
