Obviously a good day to get the engine at least running.
Sounded very very crisp.
The carbs had been carefully stored but lying on their sides, they are downdraft carbs, and one float chamber in each carb has stuck closed. a simple strip down, clean and freed off did the trick.
First time I'd seen inside the carbs for 10 years! All good inside.
The drive gear on the distributor is too small and the radial back lash is huge, about 5 degrees, so any timing setting would be +/- 2.5 degrees, so hopeless.
All the bits that came with the Clewett system can be interfaced with the DTA unit if the XDi unit fails to come back to me.
4 week loss to me and a further £300
I have little faith in both USA companies involved.
