excellent, have you got a phone number? <BR> <BR>might have to take you up on that, what are your rates? obvioiusly id be looking to exchange any faulty parts (ie vaporisor) with WTV. So if you was to diagnose a faulty part without actually fixing it what would you charge then? <BR> <BR>Going to see ...

No this is a mega flat spot, even if i open the power valve fully it has no effect on flat spot, only richer once cleared. I'm no longer worried about the flat spot as its gone when plate is set at correct height. (Although don't understand why it needs a 4.0L engine setting, or why its so rich at ...

I might have to go down this road of modifying a spare carb as an experiment, although im already on my second mixer which is the sucky out the way on petrol, plate type, with cooker ring round the top of the carb. The first mixer (a VPM) was £70 and a custom sheet fabricated side to downdraft ...

I think the environmental card has to be the best one to play. <BR> <BR>"As responsible motorists who care about the environment, whom have committed their own hard earned cash towards a government backed recommendation, saving the world, doing our bit" blah blah "shouldn't be penalized" blah blah ...

ok thanks bob, i'll try that tonight / over the weekend. Unfortunatly i wont be able to give feedback on the results until monday as im using the PC at work. <BR> <BR>Cortinas are great, im fortunate enough to have a good one with only 45K on the clock, so ive got good compression etc. im running ...

thats a good idea, but who would you lobby? just your local MP? organise a statement and get everyone to agree it?

Ok now im really confused, <BR> <BR>Done exactly what is described and got my mixer plate down to 1.5mm clearence. Started the engine and it would idle but wouldnt pick up off idle. (power valve all the way out, balance screw aparently having no effect on the running of the engine). so I lifted the ...

ok thanks, <BR> <BR>your spot on re: my mixer type, supplied with the mixer was a slip of paper that said minimum setting (what im using) is suitable for engines upto 3.5L, then listing other settings lifting the plate for bigger capacity's. <BR> <BR>I'm going to change the three plate height adjust ...

my autronic also has idle bypass but because im already running excessivly rich at idle i have no need to use it. My vaporisor definatly has a main bypass, whereby gas will purge constantly (ign on not cranking) with no vacume, is this right? This is basically what it's idling on until just off idle ...

Thanks for the reply, that £2 difference would do it, that calculates to 22.2 MPG instead of 18MPG. <BR> <BR>My vaporisor is an autronic (italian i think?) can see it in my not so clear picture (top right). the car is a 2.0 cortina. <BR> <BR>smaller choke to create greater vacum signal on gas ...

Hi all, <BR>newbie here but not an idiot, understand all the principles of the gas system but i just cant get good MPG and reasonable drive / performance. <BR> <BR>running open loop system supplied by wtv-uk who has been really helpful and even took back the VPM in exchange for a pancake type mixer ...
