reading above he has widdling the mixture screws. to set these right use micky owens guide on here - u can get it 99% accurate really u need rolling road. he never said he had tried the idle speed scew!!!!!!!!!

sorted it now thanks guys, the throttle linkage in between the carbs how messed up abit and perminantly opening one carb.

takin it to tuning place this wednesday on rolling road. Anyone know approx what it could be on a 14sr engine? (bhp) it seems very fast now compared to my standard carb.

cheers

you will probably be looking at 85-90 bhp, bearing in mind the nova sport made just under 100 with a cam and about 85 without

[Gazza14SR]

that with the twin carbs?

[Snowface]

i'd say u should see over 90bhp, the 1.4sr has one of, if not the best cam as standard.

Yes but possibly the worst head :(

Apparently the best flowing head is the 1.2 head!
