Reply to "Chesil Speedster - my planned winter overhaul of '98 build"

@Outlawrep just a mile or two outside Portsmouth. Will DM you.

I’ve got the new 65 idle jets in but now I have to get the fuel/air mix readjusted for the larger jets. I think there’s a problem with the fuel pressure coming from the pump. The pump is fine but the Malpassi fuel pressure regulator needs testing to see it’s set properly and not too restrictive.

I’ve got to say I love driving the car now. Beforehand I was always on edge in case something went wrong. Now, although it’s not a ‘modern daily driver’ it’s certainly a lot more reliable, handles better and, as most of you will know, once you’ve gone through your own car from top to bottom you gain a zen-like understanding of what’s going on as you drive. I’m looking forward to a few months of driving this one then will probably sell it on so someone else can enjoy it for the rest of the summer and I’ll look for another project for next winter!
