In the past where the vehicle has bogged down with a BDL needle has been in low RPM going up to mid-range RPM so maybe a bit off the part-throttle area.

I think it is the latter of the two. I think I will pull the "custom needle" and put a standard BDL in there.

... that the wife just got a call from the hospital. Her Mum (who they gave a GA to yesterday to work on her leg) is now today going downhill fast and she had better get there ASAP. Not looking good at all.

But the switch to BP5ES plugs has not resolved the sooting up problem. Which means it is probably running too rich for them too.

Yes, I used a map gas torch. :)

Morning All. :D Another hot one. Don't mind if I do. :) Shopping later. :( Have a great day. :D

Saw this on YT and thought is was pretty good.

The e-assist is a big help without it I doubt that the cycling would be possible. But, I do my best to keep the e-assist level low enough that I am also putting effort into the system against the resistance so that my muscles get a bit of work to do. It's the glutes that are complaining the...

Yes, just a little. As long as I don't go crazy with the PUSH effort it seems to cope. :) Weird seeing as one day last week I could not walk up or down the stairs on the right leg. As the trike is e-assist I am not having to do all the work I am just adding to the e-assist level and ensuring...

...took the Mini out for a blatt round the town, no problems noticed. Will check the plugs later. Also took the trike out and did a 10 mile loop around Canvey Island in the sunshine. :D That's twice in just few days. :)

Morning All. :D Another scorcher for us I think. :) Might go out on the trike later. Have a great day. :D

Traffic Circle if you don't mind. They do have them, but not very many. ;)

Oh mate. Commiserations on your terrible loss. We all feel for you at this sad time. 😢

No, far more old-skool NA 1275 Metro. :)

... I saw the MIL in hospital this PM. Not great, but brighter than last time. Kept reporting to me that there were flies all over her bed sheets and occasionally that I had flies all over my face. I kept telling her there were no flies and that it's just "floaters" in her eyes. Her leg wound...

OK, so here are the very sooty BP6ES plugs. All equally awful, no special standout cases. I shall pop some BP5ES's in (hotter plugs I think). I hope they don't do any damage, and it might burn off the carbon. :)

...brownie-points have been earned. Broken wind-sculpture welded back together and working again. :) Sausage bacon & egg brunch in a short while. Visiting the old MIL in hosp this PM. :)

Baps are boobies round here. ;)

Morning All. :D A decent nights kip but then the NDN resumed his DIY building works at 08:56. He is hammer & chiselling out masonry. The noise travels straight through the ground and up our side-wall. :( Looks like a nice day out there, coffee required, BBL. Have a lovely day. :D

Well I would agree with you entirely. The spiel from the raffling org said it was all "souped up" with a stage 2'd head but when I got in touch with the previous owner directly before me he said it was a standard 1275 Metro lump in a Morris Mini Minor 1000 Shell and not a stage 2 head etc. etc...
