Preparation...........the weekend awaits.

So i have done quite a few modifications to both the B and midget over the past couple of weeks. hopefully these will prove effective on the track this weekend as we have lydden in dover on saturday and Gurston down in Salisbury on sunday.

B changes.
So I had a bit of a disaster last week with the B when i found at the rolling road that she was only running on three cyclinders. Had a panic drive home fearing the worst and dreading what i might find when i stripped the head off. Thankfully i found that it was only the exhaust valve not seating correctly on number 2 cyclinder so a quick trip up to SummitMG on saturday morning to relap the valve in. (Thanks Ian and Gary). Then whizz home to rebuild the engine. Had her up and running by the afternoon. Now it really flys!

Midget mods.

Decided to try the HIF44 carbs that were on the B prior to the weber installation. Teehee!! totally daft now goes like stink and Kate has got hold of a new exhaust which will be fitted before the weekend to allow it to breathe smoother.
Again fingers crossed for a dry warm successful weekend.
I will let you know what happens.
