yeah they are great, I have just bought an RD350YPVS as a project to do up. I was really into bikes but haven't on the road for years. MotoGP is great fun to watch, usually more overtaken in one lap than in an entire season of F1.

Thanks guys.

The ignition timing has been setup at 26 degrees before TDC at approx 4k (without vacumm advance).
The car is also running a little rich as well and has only just been rebuilt.
the engine seems to revs fine to just over 4k about 4200, but stutters any higher.

Cheers Alley.

My facet is fitted on rubbers in the boot of the capri, dunno why it was there when I bought the car.

My friend runs 2 of these pumps on his GT40 replica and his are very noisy.
