I would still give a carbie a go I just worry about it being to lean on the top end and since I have 12.7 to 1 I dont want to have a melt down.
Good old faithfull !!!!! Those electronic XC dizzys were great for what they were !! Even the factory XE dizzys were a very good "factory component". I almost guarantee the projunk will let you down. And just for arguments sake....if you spent a crap load of money on an engine and just because the carb was "not doing its job" and burns out valves or in a worst case senario....puts a hole in the piston or melts rings, because it runs lean at top end......you will not get a warranty claim in ! :
But on another note...i must appologise for the change in subject..this thread started off on a good note with some excellent numbers from your ute, and ive sort of changed it into a bitc$ing session. Bring on dyno day May 3rd !!! You and i will fly the clevo flag high and crush the hearts of the crumpledoor clan ! : And hopefully Neil will have his XY ready soon, and i have to slot his engine back together with his new goodies that he has bought during the past couple of weeks...he will also be displaying some good numbers!!!!! :
