Carb tuning

Postby Dell'Orto » Tue Dec 11, 2012 3:30 pm

Is there anyone in Welly/Hutt/Rua that does dyno tuning and is adept with carbs? I was hoping to go to Roskilda in Palmy, but trying to organise a trailer/tow car is a bit of a mission.

Agreed!

When were you thinking? Parents have the car trailer covered in boards at the moment to use when they move house..

Alastair Maclennon@ Macbilt Engineering in Grenada North is adept at doing this I've seen him at work with alot of the Speedway cars that they work on out there and a few others also.

Hey John, its a fresh motor so ideally want to load it up on the dyno off the bat.
Adam - Nah, pretty sure they'd be quite different, think starlet bumpers are much thinner than corolla
Coryn- they have a dyno there? Could be an option

Oh yeah, I'm not too sure...I think he closes down next week til next year he said, and I have zero idea when Marty will be back. Might have to call and see. Next week would be super, but I imagine everyone's time frames will be way too tight.
