Had a another box arrive from Pelican which included a new "Syncrometer" so set about adjusting the balance of my Zeniths,I tried setting @ 2 rpm ranges but got the same result,adjusted about 4 of the air bleed screws around half a turn out.
I was getting a fair amount of spitback when the engine was cold,that has lessened now and pretty much gone when the engine is warm,great tool and found it much easier to use than my old Motometer one. Before doing the balancing I spent a lot of time setting up the linkages so both carbs were even,to me this is one of the single most important things to do before fine tuning. Got rid of my old back tyres as they were old and starting to dry rot,had a near new set of 16's so put those on,the old ones appeared to have a wider tread ,the replacements have given me more clearance @ the body,strange how tyre brands differ this way (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Starting to have a win with oil leaks,my RH side exhaust valve cover was leaking,so I removed the cover only to find the inlet valve cover was the culprit,resurfaced that (again) on my sheet of glass and dry as now. I still have a very persistant leak @ the oil tank,I just can't get the fitting to bite into the tank thread,its not something you can really put too much strain on,I feel some thread sealer may be the only fix ?. Gave the old thing a wash,hadn't done it for a while...... |
