Carb tuning

OMG so shiny! · Post by **Dell'Orto** » Tue Dec 11, 2012 2:30 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.
Car is pretty much ready to go

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

Peter O'Leary - Carterton. Best in the business since Gavin Askew shot through.

Nah no dyno out there.

But he'd be worth having a chat to though.

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.
