Sorry to hear that the car wont be ready, what stage are you at now. How close to the finish line?

I have a 1.9cvh, running on a megajolt. Idle approx 850-900, reading of 5.5 -6.0. And yes.....the noise is luverly!

I use the samecarb balancer, worth its weight in gold. Misabs are the spacers of choice, trick is to not tighten them to much...my webers sound glorious!!!!!

Looks like you guys had a great time, I look forward to the Grizzly bar blat next year. I promise I wont build another engine in the meantime!!!! Thanks for the pics and vids so far, more are always welcome! Just sayin...

Gotcha.. Cheers

Felt so good to turn the key and set out for a quick run. Thanks scannon, I amgoing to drive like theres no tomorrow. Stew, Sept blat is a go, how about a run into the states and stay over a night or two. Might be warmer going south.

"Her Madge" is officially back on the road and ready to Blat......:hurray::hurray::hurray:

After waaaaaay to long, I am officially back on the road, let the blatting begin!!! Feels so good to be back in the cockpit of Her Madge. And yes... the 1.9 is so much better than the 1.6.

I have caterham prisoner wheels on my 1995 Westfield, 6.5 x 15 ET13. This wheel thing confuses me!

To late for the blat, she,s back home and running....:party:

More pics please.......

We are up and running, did my first 100 mile shake down, no nasty suprises, will need to adjust the timing a wee bit, sooooooooo good to be back in the saddle.

Have a blast you guys.. Got my car running today, reset the timing and sorted the carbs out, the 1.9 is a big difference from the 1.6. will be doing some driving tomorrow, wish it was with you guys. Oh well, next year. Take care people. Steve

Oh the joy,, fired her up yesterday, and took her out for a short cautious run up h,way 533. Damn that felt good, even tho the carbs need a touch of fettling and a timing adjustment, the difference from the old 1.6 to this 1.9 is obvious. Cant wait to get the first full blat under her belt...:party:

LOL. Cheers Bob

Have a great trip. Take lots of pics. ENJOY....................:party:

GOT the new motor in, everything wired up, fluids all done, fied her up and, yes!! She lives..oops no she doesnt, gas pouring out of one of the webers..aargh! Decided to double check the float level. One of the support arms that hold the float had broken off. Did a quick repair job last night, midnight I might add... Drill thru the offending broken bit and the post, scavenged a number 2 nut and bolt from an old pair off specs and repair done. Fingers crossed....will reasemble carb again today and hopefully be up and running by noon. :willy_nilly:

Welcome Chuck, those smiles say it all. Enjoy.....

Cometic head gasket should be here by Wed or Thurs. Checked compression yesterday, 170 on all four pots.

Looking forward to fitting these to "Her Madge"

Jim You need apair of these to go on top of those clams..

My thoughts with you both. Look forward to touching base on the bat dates. The rad is in the car, just have to do the fluids andcfire the old girl up. The car I mean... Take care of yourself Chris.
