Took it to the carb doctor today and he said nothing wrong with the carb, could be electrical ?
So he sent me to a fella in another town, this fella does everyday mechanicing, but he also builds race cars and hot rods ! things were looking up
Soon as I started it he said the cam timing is out ? I said cant be as I marked the vernier wheel and the head, so he did a compression test everything was fine
he said got to be the valve timing so off cam the covers and hey presto the timing was out by 20 degrees ? !!!!!, I phoned the ones who built the head who said catagorically theey never changed it ?, but it ran fine before
So Dave set the timing and , I did a test run down the motorway straight up to 120mph no bother at all, just need to sort the suspension, but now I have no time to change it before Cumbria so it will have to do for the moment
So now a happy camper, also this Dave fella has a rolling road and hes going to set it up for £60- 70 bargin I thought
all smiles in the sunshine of NI again gloom and doom has been banished
