    Default 1.2 tuning

    ok just a question. simple fast mod like a carb off another model etc.
    yes I know drop it and put a bigger engine in etc
    but just a little bit more bhp till I get all the parts together for a engine swap.

    noooooooooooooooooooo
    if you have the 1.3 head, you want the 1.3 inlet with the twin choke carb. The 1.4 inlet is a bag of turd.

    the 1300 nova ones....


    please don't waste time & money on tuning a 1200st.... they are a revvy little engine, with not much power. use your money to fit better brakes, suspension & wheels/tyres. then save up for a bigger engine
