Just did a comp. test on My 78 Spitfire
...thought my gauge was messed up... tried a second one...
Weber DCOE 45 throttle held wide open, all spark plugs removed
185, 191, 187, 181 DRY!
I was almost afraid to put oil in the cylinders. for a wet comparison.
The PO said this engine had GT6 flat top pistons in it and the head
had been shaved.
QUESTION:
what would it have to have been bored out to..to fit GT6 pistons?
This engine also has a mild?/fast? road cam in it.
..played with the 'air corrector' jets on my DCOE 45. Did manage to get it
to
idle a bit smoother.
QUESTION:
anyone out there have any info on tweaking the air correctors.
Mine actually has 'nut locked' adjustable jets juting out at an angle
half way down the body.
...any clues?
