Changing the Carb

Postby Gazz on Thu Jul 24, 2003 7:16 pm

OK, I heard that I can get a little more power from changing my carb, the car is a 1.1 and is very, very slow. I don't really want to do an engine conversion just now cos I wouldn't be able to insure it but I was wondering, if I changed the carb would I get any more power ?

probebly not m8, maybe 1 or 2 bhp, what you have to remember is that really a 1.1 is never gonna be a mover no matter what you do to it!!
