once did a race at Woody Creek Raceway, Aspen, CO (8000 feet) and could not get
the car to rev over 5000 rpm. A friend diagnosed the problem ... got out his
wire cutters and snipped the posts off the rods in the SU caps. Never had a
problem again! </DIV></DIV>

about gave me a heart attack when he did it. Thing is, the purpose of the oil in
the SUs is to retard the piston going up and down, mostly up. It was explained
to me, you don’t WANT to retard the carb piston on a race engine. You hit the
gas you want it WOT. RIGHT NOW! Street car, sure. Race car, no. </DIV></DIV>

<DIV
style='FONT-SIZE: small; TEXT-DECORATION: none; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri"; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: #000000; FONT-STYLE: normal; DISPLAY: inline'>But
a tip: Clean the inside of the carb, piston & cylinder, regularly. Before
each race. Brakleen. Fuel residue will gum it up if you don’t. </DIV></DIV>

the knowledgeable ones.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"> Do you use
light oil in your SUs on your racing engines? I have heard both sides of
this. I have not been using any oil, but have heard from friends I should
be. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"> A
number of years ago when my son-in-law started racing we sent my old racing suit
to someone to be refurbished. It came back in great condition. My
current suit could use some work. We lost the name of the company who did
the work. Can anyone recommend a source for refurbishing my
suit?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
