Cheers Pete, yep I ran a new PB in the Dart but to be honest I was happier that at long last the off idle bog that has plagued me all year has gone, and that was thanks to Pete giving me a hand Bananarama! the 650 and 660 carbs we had. 440's with a tunnel ram love fuel primary shooters 37 secondary shooters 45 no more flat spot, but with 72 fronts & 80 rears the run was going very lean (18.8-1) at the top end and my terminal speed was down by 7mph so I have had to go large on the jets 78 on the front and 88 on the rears and although I didnt run Sunday when I got home a couple of test runs now show it about right, so I recon a bit more to come from the motor yet

The Shooters helpd, but it was down to adding 2 more secondary metering blocks that could support 4 corner ideling and more importantly 2 addtional 50cc pumps!! Those old Centre Squirters are old technology aimed at 4 speeds!!
However, the AFR you fitted made diagnosis much more rapid, so a great tuning tool!
Anyway, lots of up-jetting and you will be well away next season!!

I might have done, if they hadn't shut the track early just as i was about to run.
Track conditions looked ideal on the sunday. Beavis ran a PB and had both wheels off the floor, Cliff Turner despite problems, ran a new best 60ft of 1.32.
Congrats to Guy, Tim and others.
