have you connected the fuel feed to the breather ? fuel feed is the bottom pipe on the blade carbs also what fuel pressure are you set to mine is 2psi. Dan

I,m running blade carbs with a 30bhp increase including vernier pulley, 24bhp from the carbs and 6bhp from the pulley. To give you a starting point you want 2psi fuel pressure and my carbs are jetted to 1.3mm mains with blanked off air correctors. 12deg of advance on dizzy. I,m using the gbs manifold. My car was set up on the dyno and this set up produced the most power and torque the car fuels properly all the way through the rev range pulls from low down and revs its nuts off higher up Good luck there is a lot of different ideas on how to set them up but this works really well for my engine.

my 2b has the twin headlights see the garage pics they are just twin streetfighter bike lights. Dan

Having had my 2B for almost 3 yrs and finaly got sorted to a point where i,m happy with it i want to build something new. I will be keeping the 2B as there is a bit of sentimental value to it i was on my way to RH when my partner rang and said she was expecting kiddy no. 3. keira as no.3 became known loves the 2B calling it big brum so i can,t sell it and they don,t seem to fetch much so no point really. Has anyone on here had any experiance of the roadster ? seems like it would be a cheaper way of making a new kit Dan

I,ve stuck the bits may fall off on mine already drawn a few smirks especially from those who know the car and me

machine mart / tesco are cheapest for the saws, the circular saw blade would be no good in a normal saw as the the rage saws only spin at 2500rpm where as most others are twice that +. They claim you could cut 50m in 5mm plate on one blade so for the use i,m giving it they will last a while...

Thanks for the responces looks like my winter months has a project coming up, best start looking for a scorpio cossy pref one with lsd and cruise and get stripping ready for the winter. Cheers Dan

i,m sure i saw a hood with this engine in it at stoneleigh does anyone know whos it is i want to find out what gearbox was used Thanks Dan

If you haven't dicovered this range of saws yet they are amazing I bought the circular saw a few months ago and aquired the mitre chop saw today. They really do cut through anything. just chopped some 50mm 3mm wall box section mild steel no burrs and you could touch the metal immediatly after cutting it was barely warm ! it will also cut any angle adjustable in 1deg increments. Was using the circular saw for cutting aly sheet at the weekend. think i,m going to start a locost now, cutting the chassis tubes will be so much easier. If you decide you want one tescodirect online are the cheapest buy £30

i would have attended but car in bits again fitting bits and bobs from stonleigh see you next time Dan

If your gonna keep it get used to working on it there is always something that needs fettling to me its part of the fun, i get disapointed if nothing needs doing so i modify it a bit instead Its all part of the fun !

170hp out of a pinto would take some money to achive mine with bike carbs fast road ignition vernier injected head is running a genuine 130hp on the dyno (100hp standard) add a cam to that and 145 maybe after that serious head work will be needed. Thats what the dyno guy said to me when he was setting up my pinto.
