Shoe size?

I know the jet does not move, the jet should only be used to set the idle mixture only. But if you go hog-wild and wind it down too far you affect more than just the idle mixture, you affect the first few station positions too. :(

@Stanleysteamer well, well, well. Here is our SU carb "expert tuner" showing us all a perfect plug after a tuning session. Just like the guy in the YT clip advised look at the fire mark/band on the earth strap of the plug. 100thou' band just...

edit that for you 😂😂

Showing your young years now

bush fire now supposedly under control, but still burning. Awful. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cm2vk4xl204o

38deg in the shade stuck it out till 2,30 started to meltdown so!!!!!!!!!

Yes I know. If you wind the jet DOWN the mixture is enriched across the entire needle profile as the needle moves up and down. Contouring the needle at the relevant "stations" affects the mixture at the station-specific rev-range. The needle...

Just a thought, the jet in an SU isn't adjustable All the jets are the same size and fixed in HIF 38 carb for instance, just have different needles for different cars

I had noticed that the pre-ignition "bang" seemed to always occur when trying to accelerate from a low (15-20) speed. I know generally how the SU carb works and I realised that if the throttle was suddenly opened that the dashpot would rise and...

I must admit that if it had been me I would maybe have done both of these but I would have done them one at a time to see which had the effect. Predetonation I would have imagined coming from the timing being slightly too advanced, yet you have...

Only in France could there be a row about making mineral water cleaner and purer, by NOT sticking chemicals into it. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyvn3qe0jpgo

Should have pointed out that each time the dodgy vertebra was in my neck.

I'd advise a chiropractor, seeing as I once had shoulder pain. Went to three GPs who each gave me a different diagnosis and a different advised course of treatment. Being a doctor's son I knew that none of them had a clue. Was then recommended a...

A sandblasting pencil sharpener??? I'd love to see one!🤣🤣🤣

Ma hippo's excited about im being due an mot. Was going to call em today to see if there be any spare slots. Fell er sheep instead.

...that like the Chinese said about the success of the French revolution on its 200th anniversary "It is maybe too early to tell"; but, since advancing the timing slightly and changing the 20w oil for 30w oil in the dashpot the mini has not had...

Dun't kid yerself. The one in ere about askin if others also play r2 to their rust wurm, to stop them feeding on their hesps, wassa gem.

No. Just a lie down wiv me old wukkin coat on to sweat out the shivers and tempreture.

It does look lovely! I'm a wee bit jealous as I never took mine to a show although I/we was/were always taking our kit cars to shows. Every time I see one like yours it make me want to get another one. I then have to give myself a severe...

Any fred in the Freelander section will do. They talk more rubbish than us :p

I shall be going to a country show/mini show at Hedingham Castle on Sunday. :D My sister who only this week asked to come and stay for the weekend so I cancelled my attendance at the show has now called to say she got all her dates all wrong...

Morning All. :D Herself has gone for the paper. :) She's very depressed ATM because the other 2 executors are doing nothing to progress the probate and are just tossing hand grenades in at every opportunity. She wants to ditch being an...

And if ye rub it in yer nob the wife thinks she’s got marathon man….😎

Yer it can burn just like the hand warmers, I use them sometimes.. I had them in my sock as I busted my ankle I had to chuck em as they were burning me.

Wear plastic gloves when using tiger balm or heat. Saves hours wondering if the smell gone. I have ankle pain on the front of the foot that occurs at on moments. So I try to use freeze ibrufon gel because I tried the balms and got a heat blister...

Was doing this tonight, took the d1 for a hurl & the gears were like stirring soup so fitted the common return to centre plate n springs, done the lower stick bush as well. The upright on the plate between the springs was snapped off so finding...

Bring them all as long as yer motors will run on cherry :p

O'dear thats terrible, poor fella so sorry thats sad reading. :(:(

If that's all you are charging, I'll send the family car fleet up for a fill up. Each with a few jerry cans in the boot. :cool:
