  1. Might be a daft question but do you use the carb's Starting Enrichment system when the engine's cold? Mine wont run without it when cold, but doesn't need it for long before I can push the choke cable fully back in.ย 

  2. If ZX6R carbs are anything like the ZX9R carbs in their basic layout, then the hole in the left in your picture is the air corrector for the pilot jet and the hole on the right is the air corrector for the main jet. The pilot and main jets are located in the fuel chamber on the underside of the carb.

  3. Yes, I used that chart to determine the age of my engine block (HY, therefore 1987), but you're right, that doesn't mean you assume the head, or any other parts of the powertrain, are the same age or from the same donor vehicle.

  4. My engine is also a 1987 2.0L 205 block Pinto, with a definite "I" stamped on the head. The inlet ports are round (not egg shaped like on the injection heads) so I choose to assume it's leaded and add Castrol Valvemaster to the fuel (1 ml per litre of fuel).

  5. I set the camber when fitting the wishbone upgrade kit, so the ball joints had never been pulled up fully tight until after I'd got the camber set. I could, therefore, just pull the stub out the top of the dummy strut (maybe just a tap under the top wishbone with a rubber mallet to free it, I can't remember).
