Missing 23 ponies found !!!

[maston]

Hi All,

Firstly really enjoyed the fest and nice meeting new and old faces too.
Well done Mark, you can organise it every year now

Right, put my 390 on the dyno and was a bit miffed as to why it had lost 23hp in 8 months !!!
It only managed 204hp on the rollers.

Upon fixing another fuel leak yesterday I noticed that the throttle cable was slack (the fixings had come lose) and subsequently I was not getting full throttle. Fixed it and took her for another spin, wow, full power restored

At least that is my excuse for only having 204hp and I'm sticking by it

Well done that man

That - that is the first rule of tuning! Wide open throttle. Well spotted!

Thank smash, how's your old girl coming along mate ?

We're on the finishing straight - just waiting for a slot at Mowatts to sort it once and for all then she'll be looking for a new home

Oh, had enough of it then mate ?

I think your wrong about the horses mate!

If you remember when you was on the RR you had the old steering wheel on and then changed it afterwards for the wooden one you bought, I reckon if you had gone back on the road after changing the wheel you would have seen you horses back then.

Never really got fully into - been niggles since the off. Just lost my nerve with it although I'm sure it'll be perfect once it's been properly fettled by Mowatts.
