Re: Inlet Timing

It rides well, very torquey, pulled uphill around the Amalfi Coast Rd in 4th 2's up but won't go over 6000 rpm....... but that's another story.
Really just trying to get clarification on the 70 after thing.

Re: Inlet Timing

It's not too big kid, just not sure how important the 70 after "rule" suggested by Norrie is. Inlet was ported a while back for standard crank with 10mm cut off leading edge and it was fine (can't remember exact figure, I've slept since then :D ) I knew Mazz crank was a longer dwell but it...

Inlet Timing

Been doing a bit of measuring and found I have 190deg inlet timing.
Read through my old Norrie book and it he says that you should have a max of 70deg after TDC, I have 110 before and 80 after with a Mazz 60mm crank.
Just how important is the 70 after rule?

Re: PX200 tuning

Gadge, what made you go richer on idle? I'm running 55/160 with Polini intake but find at low revs round town it just cokes the plug (B8)
Starts and ticks over fine. 140 main, BE3 and 160 AC on standard 24mm with Polini intake and SIP 2.
60mm Mazz going in soon so that may change carb settings a bit.

Re: 172 holed piston nearly

So where did I get "reed" from?
Another senior moment methinks.
