Pinto Engine

Hi all,

 

I'm still quite new to this and was just after some experience from others on a Robin Hood with Monocoque chassis and 2.0L Pinto engine, the engine is running fireblade carbs and kent cams but I'm thinking of replacing the carbs for twin 40 webbers. The sar is based on a Siera

 

Any advice on tuning & performance? I'd love to enter it in a couple of races in the 750mc sports series!

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Smitty, I will be the first to say why? And No!

Fireblade carbs are better than twin 40's , I had Webber's and took them off.

Car is faster and more economical with bike carbs.

To me its a backward step.

The timing is retarded because of the Kent cams and its a bit spluttery with the bike carbs so I thought it might run better on the webbers? If not i'll scrap that idea!!

 

I will get it on a rolling road once its tidied up and all sorted out as the previous owners have abused the car a bit, needs quite a bit to get it back up to standard! Any recomendations?
