never fiddle before a track day

[pistolpete]

SO I did fiddle. I noticed the F ducts are split on the carbs, so I thought with no chance of getting new ones in time I taped up the split. No trouble..
SO now the revs at idle are very unpredictable ranging from normal to 2000rpm. Could it be the little device( its a temperature switch I think) at the other end of the ducting has failed and the split in the piping sort of happened together and now I just have full choke . Its a right pain just days before castle combe , urgent advise please gents

Cheers

What do you mean by 'F' ducts? Are we talking about the vacuum pipes?

[pistolpete]

The rubber pipes fitted on top of the carbs , I guess it’s vacuum or reducers air flow, until it warms up

If you can get it to Castle Combe I can bring some pipe with me.

But you're not going home

What time is the Oxford posse heading west?

Ok cheers , but not sure what the issue is

[pistolpete]

What time is the Oxford posse heading west?

If anyone wants to meet up first I’m happy to head out whenever. My understanding is there is no mad rush to be there early .

I was thinking of leaving home just before 09:00, and I am only two miles from Pete, so shall I swing by your place and we go in convoy? From there across to the A34, down to the M4, should get to CC 10:30.

I'll pick you up around J15 of M4. Just give your approx passing time.

[pistolpete]

So Leigh will you come by my place first , as I’m on the way do you remember where I am ? 9 ish or before would be great. I reckon we will be at m4 services membury at around 9.45 . My mobile is 07974343366. So we can fine tune if need to

[Leigh]

Yes I remember your lane Pete, so I'll drive slowly down the lane until I see your car on your driveway. If we leave yours at 09:00 then we should pass under Junc 15 of M4 (Swindon East, after Membury Services) about 10:00 so Hawaiis0 can join us. Not sure of the logistics of how he intends to do that, there doesn't seem to be a convenient layby on or near the intersection. Perhaps one of us phones him when we are 5 minutes away?
