[quote="Oggie"]No don't think so , the engine was really built for set up of throttle bodies, but the costs (and sound) was escalating so carbs were the way to go, plus it keeps the car a bit more original.[/quote]

Then it dawned on me, like a light bulb coming on, PING!! I don’t think I set up the throttle cable correctly, doh! I checked and yes, full throttle was about 3mm of the throttle bodies being fully open. <br />I adjusted that and fitted my induction kit, balanced out the throttle bodies after the engine was warm, was 2 flat sides out and took her for a test flight. <br />OH yeah, better but the throttle bodies need balancing, as it feels hesitant and unbalanced when slowly blipping the throttle. When quickly blipping the throttle, from idle to fully open there is a big lag and it nearly stalls. <br />My friend has ordered some vacuum gauges, I’ll let you how it goes.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subRed/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
