Not necessary , but rearranging shims (requires other shims) to achieve .70mm will feel a bit more responsive but I wouldnt suggest doing so til after metal to metal friction is gone

Thanks Monty.
Makes sense

What do you guys use to pre-heat your engines? I have a heat gun, buy I'm looking for something I can turn on and walk away from for a bit.

I got a +4 BTT.. 3 litres old, It flames every fuel/pit stop sometimes in pit sometimes 1/4 lap out. Can someone tell me why? I checked all lines/tank all are ok. Its flames after refill when tank is close to empty. runs great up to the pit stop.
Any help would be great.. Cheers

I had the exact same issues recently. It turned out being my manifold gasket between the pipe & header. Looking at it from outside it looked fine, but once I separated the pipe & manifold, I could then see the gasket was trash.

It ran OK under throttle because the pressure was still high enough to help push the fuel. The flame outs occurred at idle because there was not enough tank pressure due to the fact it was escaping between the pipe & manifold.

Just something else to check.

what oil % ....your plug may be a touch too cold , which would make the engine more sensitive...

Like Neal said that plug is the onroad plug c6tgh is pretty cold compared to c6tgc

Like strangdazd says , check all fuel pressure/delivery components before blaming it on the engine, 99% of the time you will find something wrong

Is it a mugen?
