Carby on GTR needs adjusting!

[Gav]

After fitting new power transistor last night and regapping plugs, I went for a bit of a fang up my favourite hill near my house (Ewen St in Doubleview).

Wouldn't you know it - was pulled over by a cop who was a few hundred meters behind me. As I wasn't (overly) speeding, I wasn't too concerned.

He (an older guy on a bike) asked why there were flames comming out of my exhaust?!

Before I had a chance to think of an excuse, out he came with it:

"it smells a bit rich - is your carby adjusted correctly?"

About to add a smart arse comment, but didn't want a detailed inspection of my "Jap spec" Cat, so just answered that I had it serviced today and planned to take it back there again tomorrow as "flames out of the exhaust" are obviously "not good".

He then cautioned about 50 km/h in built up streets etc and went on his way.

Just lucky on that occasion - a cop who is ignorant, but otherwise pleasant to deal with.

PS - might get my dizzy and points checked also:p

That's funny Gav, old blokes still think modern cars have carbies:p

Still, with flames out the exhaust you should be careful not to attract unwanted attention, might not be so lucky next time.

See'ya:burnout:

Thay got triple CD Strommies(Bafirst Torrys got Webers) mate and GTRs have special heavy points for revin to 5500rpm but you can put some foam in the points to make em go to 6000 or get a trick twin point dizzy.

Sorry I thought you had a GTR-XU1 but you got a Nizzan

jap crap GTR.
