| Back on Track
Today I returned to the track for the first time in 3 years at the Scottish Motorshow at Knockhill.
Now with upgraded brakes that were working well, and new tyres that gripped, the experience was very enjoyable. The only fly in the ointment was a misfire which came in at 4000rpm at full throttle, if I backed off the throttle, it would go to 5500 which is as much as this engine ever wanted to go to before tailing off.
When back on the road, the engine revved freely so I havent figured this out yet. I will check the distributor, the last time this happened it was a broken rotor arm contact, but this is a different distributor.
There was an Ultima there too which was pulling about 50mph more than me with exhaust flames on the overrun, awesome.
Now I have the brakes to stop it I will have a look at the engine soon, booked on a rolling road in two weeks, but my guess is not very many hp. The joy is in improvement though so we will see where we go from here.
regards
Dave
