Greetings,
I further bastardised my sprite on the weekend, fitting a 1 3/4" HIF SU and a
titan manifold.
just fits under the bonnet, I mean just... I had to omit the phenolic spacers
to make it happen. (it is a newish SU with the higher profile black cap on the
dashpot top..a slightly earlier HIF has the flatter cap and would be less of a
clearance issue)
It goes ok... but needs some tweaking.
the low end response is better than with my tired twins, but if I floor it
there is a big old flatspot, and the engine has to catch up before the power
kicks back in.
Does this mean I am running too rich, or need a different needle?
Or have I just gone a bit over the top going that big? (engine is a 1293cc,
with a bit of a cam, and headers)
The carb doesn't have the piston lifting pin for tuning, but i used a skinny
screwdriver to lift the piston a fraction and set the idle mixture to somewhere
in the range.
any tips appreciated.
Andy
