Right, the main concern was the split rack boot, so I had to take things off on that side at least. I like having wear parts symmetrical side to side (so I always replace right and left in pairs) so

First off, what are you using to measure RPM? I know my tach reads high compared with my tach/dwell meter. Second: make sure the carbs are balanced. I've spend a lot of time adjusting a carb which wa

Hmph! How about the jets the new needles go into? Wear there could also cause richness. Let's see.. I assume the pistons aren't stuck and the needles are installed to the correct "depth". John M. Tri

My front carb has suddenly decided to stop retaining damping fluid (now that I finally got the "right stuff", it is dumping it). If I remove the piston and dashpot cover from the carb, and put fluid

Well, I'm catching up on my mail. I'll put my 20 mills in before asking for help on yet another series of problems: 1) Redo-ing the head alone overstresses the other parts. Yes, in a way. If the head

Since I wore out both front tires at the last TSCC event on the INSIDE (BFG R1s, and I mean toward the inside edge of the tread portion) I decided to go to a "professional" to get my alignment done.

Thanks to all the folks who responded to my sob story about alignment. I have come to the conclusion that I am 1) Running "too much" negative camber for street use, 2) Ran a lot of highway miles on t

When a rod bearing is worn it causes the rod to slap against the rod journal when the piston is changing direction. However, the loudest slap will be on the combustion stroke (Initially the crank is

I'll grant you that I screwed up and ignition should occur in a cylinder once every 2 crank cycles. I'll even grant you that cam RPM is half of crank RPM. This makes sense since the distributor fires

In my case, I just quit bleeding too soon. Clutches are harder to bleed than brakes since they don't have a definite stop point to work against. Toward the end the slave cylinder was moving 1/16" or

Eh? No, it's the turn signals which run through the emergency flasher switch, not the heater fan... I concur with the "dirty fan switch" opinion, although you might try jumpering 12v to the fan to se

The things that look like aquarium hose are air tubes. The idea is to provide a "clean" source of air so the pump doesn't clog up with road gunk. My pump has two air inlets, and I only have one air h

You're going to have to switch needles (this is going to be fun, eh?) The problem is that your higher performance cam has altered the charge flow at higher RPMs. You need the Haynes SU book, or simil

Although this seems to work fine in the HS2 carbs in the Spitfire, it does NOT give me a decent accellerator pump effect in the HIF4s in the MG. I purchased a tiny bottle of SU damper fluid for $7, a
