Recommend reqd.
 
Hi,

it won't be long and I'll be looking at getting the engine set-up and running sweet as (bike carbs, MJ lite and 1.8cvh).

Can anyone recommend somewhere that does a good job (preferably local to Devon/Cornwall)?

Had a brief chat with a local bloke who has a rolling road, tried talking me into single downdraft carb saying bike carbs weren't upto it. Also gave me the impression that ' its not a scooby so not interested'.

Anyway if anyway can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

How far would standard carbs be out if at all?

Strange, the usualy have a good reputation.

You could always go to Bog Brothers, they certainly won't turn their nose up at bike carbs.. Little ut of ya way though :D

Was you speaking to Alan J or Martyn J !!

Alan is a tad old school & more or less said the same to me ..... Martyn on the other hand is a lot more new school & lets his mapping skills do the talking ;)

Martyn has done a cracking job of mapping my eldest lads car .... Yep I admit it .... It is a Scooby :D :D

However, Enginetuner has never advised work that was not needed to get the best performance possible :)

A friend was talking to Mark Burley at MB Motorsport.
From this months CKC they have taken over operations of the quantum extreme kitcar range.

According to their website they have moved & can now offer rolling road facilities. Might be worth a call.

Cheers Gus,

had a good chat with a guy there, missed his name. Very helpful and sounds like he knows what he's talking about.

Loves bike carbs as well - bonus.

So I think that will be the place once I'm ready.

Thanks again:)
