  1. Smashing day!

    Great to see the usual suspects and a few more. Fair play @Wee Man for making the trip. Won't name names as I forgot people's... Great to catch our resident old school pro stock contender @clairetooon a sun day kick back after a very successful meet at dragstalgia last weekend. More power, madam? 

    And I got to put Valentino on the dyno. It was better than expected ... we kinda knew it was rich but pretty impressed with the power delivery. 

    We got to 107. Pretty quickly, it seemed ... or was that sounded? There's something about hearing your own bike on a dyno..... if you know, you know. If you don't, try it. 

    Now time to get rid off this Trumpy Oil mist.

    Huge thanks to @Paulmfor making today happen - you shining star, you x

  2. I'm just waiting to confirm my travel for October but as long as it stays in the week I think it will, I'm in. Where do I send the money? 

    Nice one. 

  3. Looks tidy. 

    BT36s are pretty agreeable across the range and were only used on a couple of years hence in short supply. If the carbs are off a standard bike that ran ok, rule of thumb for air filters & better breathing exhaust system would be to up the main jet by 11% in size. Check the carbs are original sizes too as many had the dynojet upgrades. Ideally you'd be able to get it on a dyno for a proper check but if it was me,  I'd try it out as is. With new plugs in, take it for a run and do another plug check to indicate what's going on with the mixture.

    But remember, they're an old set of carbs now so you have to allow for wear and tear, they're all a little different. Depends how accurate you want to be be. 

    Standard ignition? Or been swapped out?
