Will have a chat with the man on Wednesday to discuss any possible issues and will mention potential spindle wear.

Still mulling over roll stiffness. I believe the standard Frogeye front springs are 270lb. The standard 1275 ones are 340lb. But if I use those I think I need to lower them 1/2" because the Frog is lighter at the front. Correct? I have a steel bonnet.

A previously slightly rich mixture could well have masked any slight spindle leak, making it run more evenly

Very good David.🤭

That’s what I think.
Anyway hopefully he can sort it next week.

Is this correct?

If he's changed the needles, it sounds like he's picked the wrong profile.

The slight stutter was only there after the rolling road session, wasn’t there before.
Carbs were a bit rich , plugs were always black and sooty, so he has changed the needles. Maybe it’s too weak now?

Guy,

That sounds a good suggestion, I have worn spindles and the car doesn't like very low throttle at or near idle, so I just change down and rev it !

Les,

Does the rolling road have a lambda sensor ?
That might show the mixture leaning out as you go from idle, with a very gentle acceleration and then richening up and the air mass increases, in effect hiding the very smal...

So, in detail, what is the difference between AI and a politician ?
