I think most of us use an external Tornado fuel filter and try to make the fuel line from the carb to the tank as short as possible due to the 75 cc fuel limit. So where do you suggest at what point we pinch the fuel line?

The way I interpret is like this... When your bottom end LSN is lean, then you have plenty of bottom end power. When the clutch engages, it does not bog down the low end and because of the good launch on the low end (because of it being lean), you may set the pre-tension nut loose.
When you set the LSN rich, the engine may seem to bog down when the clutch engages. Seemingly not enough power or RPM to pull the car in first gear.

I have i lot of things to do but i will try to be more active on the forum
Yes, the fuel filter is a must to be sure to have a consistency. I have the fuel filter in the middle of the line and the line is as short as possible (the line is rounding the carb from the rigth side, rear view). I pinch after the filter.

I only have one receiver and it looks like I won't buy more because I've been informed that the BRCA has not approved it for use!
It's a trick I tell you. A tripod.

Nope ... no need for software upgrades at the mo. Works very well and at the last track, when I tried my other car which has a 40MHz XTal in it, interference at two spots on the straight. Everyone using the upper 40MHz channels also had problems.

Does this mean you can't use it for the remaining races?

I measure from the end of the flywheel retaining nut to the top of pre-tension nut with calipers in this manner:
The clutch was nice, it wasn't too agressive - probably you'd need to use a bigger clutch gap and/or grubscrews in the flyweights to achieve this.
My pit monkey is Sow&Steady - are you sure you want him or are you after the services of the one true Pit Prophet??

The "pit monkey" I was refering to was Rene but if you are willing to send Sow over I will give him a try.

After talking to Onkel Sow, he suggested grinding out the first gear a little, so the bearing would fit in easily even when the two gears are screwed together.
This last tip seems to have sorted the rest of my problems out.....I hope
Cheers, Mark.

That's good information, thanks. I assume that the flyweights just lie between the pegs in the flywheel?

But the Pit Prophet isn't available for hire
