Sorry if this question has been answered in the last week, I am waay
behind on MG mail (out-of-town trip).
What's the approximate viscosity of the carb damper fluid which comes in
those niftly little bottles? What's a good substitute?
I'm currently running 20W50 in the HIF4s... Marvel Mystery Oil is too
light for sure, although it works OK in the HS2s in the Spitfire.
I freaked out someone at a race last week when I mentioned I had 20W50 in
there.. "way too slow" he opined. I would treasure faster throttle response.
Oh, and does the damping fluid affect the rev drop time? My dropoff when
shifting up is too slow and that makes going into third a chore. I am
running solid butterflies and the idle is set to about 1300 to keep oil
pressure up. The third gear synchro is gone and so I really need to
match revs.
If this message doesn't make sense give it 4 hours sleep and a cup of coffee.
