AC, how do you check if the vacuum advance is working? little suck on the pipe whilst watching the advance on a strobelight?
@ACDodd 2 ай бұрын
You got it, however you’ll likely to get fuel in your mouth!!! A vacuum pump is a much healthier way to check!

Hi AC great stuff, have subbed, quick question, will i be ok fitting an old 12G202 head on an 88 A+ 998 motor ?, it's a really nice big valve ported job, plan to eventually use this with a Kent 266 Cam, LCB and decent single box center exit system.

Yes ideal you will loose a little compression but not a huge amount

What should be the target af/r on idle and when revving on a 1098cc with a stage 1 kit

I offer training for those that wish to be able to tune carbs themselves.

AC, How do you normally detect a leaking intake manifold/carb? What are the symptoms and how can you confirm the leak?
@ACDodd 2 ай бұрын
Use a can of brake cleaner and spray it on the joints with the engine running. if the rpm changes it’s leaking. Revs rise carb is set lean, revs drop fueling set much too rich

AC, any chance you could show how to by pass the ballast resistor? I’m fitting 1275 motor electric 65 d dizzy into a 76 mini scamp. It used to be 998. It did have a 3ohm coil but I’ve a 0.8 now cos of the dizzy. I’ve got no clue on wiring. Thanks
@ACDodd 2 ай бұрын
Has your scamp got a ballast resistor in the loom?
@dominiccooper810 2 ай бұрын
Hiya AC, thanks for the quick reply. I don’t know if it’s got a ballast resistor in the loom or how to check if it has. Thanks

AC, What voltage coil 12v 3A or 8v 1.5 A - on a blasted system ? its not specifically for mini but mgb.
@ACDodd 2 ай бұрын
A ballasted system uses a 1.5ohm coil for a 4 cylinder engine.

@@ACDodd Thanks for the reply, so it should have a 12v coil with 1.5 ohm not a 8v coil 1.5 ohm

what leads do you recommend for a 08 coil with pertronix 59d dizzy and bp6 plugs gapped at 35tho and what ohm reading would be acceptable
@ACDodd 2 ай бұрын
I use Powerspark 8mm leads having a resistance of typically 1.5 to 2kohms per lead.

AC. Do you recommend fuel stabiliser with every tank of fuel. I'm running a 1310cc with your RS+ cam and a 45 DCOE Weber I always use Shell V-power
@ACDodd 2 ай бұрын
How long do you leave it between using it?
@nevhath 2 ай бұрын
@@ACDodd Use it regularly this time of year. Normally park it up when weather turns...(October time) I do add fuel stabiliser then when it's parked up over Winter. I use STA-BIL. I think on your recommendation..
@ACDodd 2 ай бұрын
If you leave it longer than 1 month it needs stabilising. Stabil make a produce called stabil 360 which is designed to be used every fill up.
