    They presented Strictly Come Dancing up until last Christmas. Claudia Winkleman, daughter of Eve Pollard, has also presented "Traitors" (not my thing either but it's on in our house). Claudia is the smarter one (Cambridge) despite appearances.

    Hey,I just know stuff (not about Webers though...) 🤣🤣🤣

    It'll take 38's ok -I'd be leaving it and see how it goes---What size mains has it got init--my guess would be 175 maybe 180
    Mate ran 40 chokes in his 1310 with 190 mains and it was a rocket
    IF you are changing chokes/discharge nozles, make sure you have the locking tabs on the retaining bolts---They are prone to coming loose without being locked

    Dave, I agree but 60 in a year for the whole county is miniscule to me. Couple that with the fact that on one day in a 14 hour period there were six deaths, three of which was one accident involving one car. Its just the lunatics that think zero is a possibility.

    You might be better with a 36mm choke. I think I may have some spare chokes, but knowing my luck they’ll be 38s. I’ll have a look before Sunday.

    My thinking was that with the coil hooked up backwards there might have been some feedback overheating the module as both windings in the coil are connected to the _NEG terminal and maybe some flaring inside the cap from the reverse polarity creating heat as well-
    Hopefully it's that simple for Nat. and correcting the polarity fixes it.

    "No I'm sorry you're wrong about that. It all depends on how long it was to start with. And remember, the standard length of a piece of string is set internationally. We can't control that. "

    Following my earlier query, I managed to pick up a nice second hand Weber 45 on a maniflow inlet. The chap told me it had come off a mini 1293 with fast road cam , ported head etc similar to what my car currently has. I have looked and it has 38mm chokes in which seem a bit large. I understand and will get the carb set up on a rolling road but would it be wise to downsize the chokes before if they...

    I wonder what the average was over 10 years.

    Also, how high was the previous high, 10 years ago?

    It's not a very good idea to base policy on one statistic in isolation.

  • paulh417 March 2026

    Just noticed your post with the Youtubes. Because the video is digital and the HT pulses only very brief it can miss flashes which does seem to be the case in the first one less so with the other two. Idle does seem to be a bit lumpy though, which idle speed do you have? Only out of interest it's not likely to be a factor in this unless there is an irregular beat in the exhaust.
