Hi all,

just thought I'd up-date you on my rolling road quest.

I did indeed use MB Motor sports, nice bloke and seemed to be knowledgeable. Country lane access was interesting though.

Only wanted to get it on the RR to check all was in order, fuelling emissions etc and hoping to check the engine was producing what it should - around 90bhp I think.

After balancing the carbs and a bit of a warm up he did a few runs to make sure everything was ok.

I don't think its a nice thing to watch as he's revving your pride and joy, but it was nice to see it staying together (might have to check a few nuts!).

After a few runs of increasing speed, it was hsowing that it was running lean up the range. A quick drilling out of the jets to 1.8mm and a quick check run seem to have sorted that.

Finall run and a good thrashing (didn't seem to stop at the MJ set rev limit?), although he couldn't gve me a print out, he said it was kicking out 90bhp at the wheels which doesn't seem to bad to me (reckons its about 105/110 at the engine)?? Printing out capability is in the pipeline.

Must say it did sound nice though (whilst trying to forget the engine could be splattered all over the workshop any minute).

In the end, emissions ok, engine in one piece and happy with bhp for the minute!
