Well, today I ran some compression tests:
Cold engine: 183, 185, 185, 180 psi
Normal engine temperature: 174, 174, 176, 169 psi
Leak down test on a warm engine gave: 5, 3, 3, 3%
Looks like the engine is in pretty good nick.
I went the extreme and lowered the jets on both (SU) carbs: 18 flats down from
the top.
Idle gave sooty plugs, as expected.
After a run all plugs were pretty much cleaned but now with a white deposit.
Sooooo, Ill be ordering a SU rebuild kit from TRF in the morning unless there
are any more ideas.
Cheers, Adrian TS 58325
Hope everybody had a pleasant 3 day weekend
