Hi

I've bought a little plaything for the weekends (Midget) and I'm having trouble with poor running at low revs (jerkiness mainly) and plug fouling. It's got a warmed over 1275 A Series engine with Weber 45DCOE. One suggestion has been to get it on a rolling road and have someone who knows their way around a Weber (I certainly don't) have a fiddle.

Can anyone recommend a tuning company in the Tyne Tees area who have a good rep with this sort of thing?

Thanks

JG

Steer clear of A19 Tuning, rip off merchants and rubbish.

McDonald Racing in Lanchester did a very good job with the Webers on my Tiger.

My family has always used R&P Woods in Newcastle for servicing and maintenace of prformance cars. They are a Turbo Technics dealer, and as far as i can remember do rolling roads etc. You just have to pop down and see the standard of cars they are working on to appreciate that this is a fantastic and well trusted family run garage.

If the plugs are fouling I'd be checking compression, ignition timing and general HT health first, then get the carb stripped-down and everything blown through...
