O...

Re: GT Kit Jetting

No I don't, When you've ignored the EGT on a well respected tuner's advice and had an expensive repair to a TS1 as a result only last month and then see the same symptons on another engine that seems impossible to jet correctly then tell me to stop bellyaching. It's not working and therefore not us...

Re: GT Kit Jetting

Unless someone can correct me is this the first report I've seen of a GT kit going wrong? They always seemed bulletproof. Don't jump to conclusions. It's not the cylinder that seems to be the problem, it's the cylnder head, which I hope to check and report this week. Cylinder heads are supplied by ...

Re: Indian 200cc Barrel Porting?

GIVE UP! Why try and make a silk purse from a pigs ear of a barrel? Much better to start with something that is at least part way decent!

After that we looked through the records he keeps on lap times when he ...
