You want somewhere like this http://www.dnbaccounting.co.uk/dnbco...m/services.htm

I could reccomend a few places but you'd have to travel around the M25 though!

i hated every bloke i ever worked for, treated me like sh1t, and i dont have the head for accounting and stuff so self employed is out of the window, and my knees are getting more shot to sh1t so i thought it best to knock it all on the head, i dont want to be a mechanic, i dont want anything to do with greasy old metro's etc, i want to build or tune race cars, of any description, ive just got a good feeling about going into this sort of thing, ive got more passion for it than you could shake a stick at, just need to get spotted by the right person and it could be plain sailing from then on... and theres not as much money in plumbing as many people believe, unless your one of these dick turpin rip off merchants, i used to do a grade A job and thats just not appreciated any more, especially when a polak will beat your hourly rate by half...

cheers Gary, if money were no object then it wouldnt be a problem, but i cant be dealing with carting a car across England and back just for a rolling road session, i do know of very good places, but transport is the issue...

noone know then?

Rolling Road is your ONLY answer. The price you quoted - £45 plus VAT, I was paying that almost *cough* twenty years ago! So it's cheap. A lot cheaper than taking your new car into the dealers to be plugged into a Tech2!!!

It's a shame that you're not north of the Dartford crossing, I'd suggest you go to Wilshers Garage at New Wimpole, Cambs, and see the master - Mr Peter Baldwin. He'd have that thing singing from the right hymnbook in about half an hour.

I seem to remember that my Sport ran with F4 emulsions after Pete had a look at it. It may have had F11's. That's a tube that gives big richening during accelleration. The F16 you have gives weakening at slight accelleration, and at low revs.

2 seconds of Googling - fastroadcars dot co dot uk (can't post URL's until I've posted over 15 times on here!) - has Weber spares/jets/etc.. and a description of what you get with each type of tube.

I'll have to find my Weber book because I made notes in there of what it had over the many years of development, from the very first 1398 bottom end, to it's fully lary 1297 132hp rendition.

Final tip - get it on the rolling road. It'll be a lot cheaper than a blown engine, either because it's too weak and eats the pistons, or too rich and washes the bores/lunches the bearings.

Thank you an incredible amount C612DNM, sounds legendary, i am in contact with Anthony at fast road cars, hes who i use for everything, best prices ive seen so far, better than FSE glencoe so hes got my vote, i do totally understand the need for the rolling road sesison and ill definitely do it, im not driving it atm cos its SORNed but im just tinkering about and learning about the carbs, i only run it to tune it, i absolute love them and hope to learn how to tune them properly, ive got a book written by an American which has helped alot, i do know that the F16 emulsions ive got in there are wrong, i took the top plates off the other day and found out what float level im supposed to have (8.5mm for 40 DCOE 28's with brass floats) and found that they were over 1mm out, and when i drove it to test it did seem alot better, instead of totally dying at 3k, it went just a little bit more and with alot of beans, im assuming that the main circuit is engaging better than it was before and hopefully a combination of F11 emulsion tubes and maybe 130 or 140 mains on 180 airs will make the difference i need, ive got 115s and 120s if i need to lean it up a bit for the MOT which will be soon hopefully, thanks for your help mate!

might have just had a eureka moment... im thinking, would a 1.4 carb (mechanical) fuel pump be more up to the job than my original 1300 one? its the cam lobe that concerns me, and yes (before) EVERYONE jumps down my throat, i know i need to very soon upgrade to an electric pump!! but i was just wondering if that would help, ie have a higher flow rate than the 1300 one? and whether it would run properly off the cam lobe (bear in mind i am using the old 1300 cam) cheers folks!

the lobe type pumps are all the same spec. they don't actually flow gigantic amounts of fuel anyway..

ahh fair enough, facet it is then....!! cheers mowgli...!

Lobe pump supplied enough (too much infact) for 150bhp on a 1.6 8V on T40's..... it still needed a regulator in the way!
