Does the carb clear with the vacuum takeoff spacer removed? You need to remove that spacer anyway as the vacuum takeoff is on the wrong side of the butterfly with that fitted. As per Nigel heads write up, linked in the SU carb thread the dizzy vacuum takeoff needs to be on the air filter side of the...

Had her out for a little play at Binegar over the weekend, love the auto off-road, it works super well and the 2.0 has loads of torque for the hill climbs. 1C6EB12F-3352-474E-A85E-7D7195671247.mov IMG_1589.jpeg IMG_1588.jpeg 7305C0C0-90F7-43D1-8CD3-239318E3ECF5.mov IMG_1562.png IMG_1561.png IMG_1564...
