If it feels like carbs its ignition!

Post by MickeyMoto »

Getting my 1980 Sport on the road again I had a problem with it not revving. As I have transplanted my top end (Sport pistons, barrels and heads) onto a Kanguro bottom end with an M cam I expected few problems. I have had the carbs off a few times, checked and rechecked the fitting, checked the rubbers for leaks. So as a last resort, checked the ignition timing again. It was quite a few degrees retarded. The static setup marker is way out. Adjusted and it runs luvverly! Just need to put the 115 jets back in I swapped for 112s.

92 miles today and it is nice being back on the old girl. There is a glitch on part throttle cruising to be sorted, but saw 70ish (!) on the speedo a few times. Fine tuning time.

If you have never experienced a three narf Sport I can sell you one!
