Graham Sewell Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 If you can get into London; it is worth going to Emerald in Brixton. Dave sorted out my x-flow on carbs (only time out of three different rolling roads to get it right) Low tech luddite - xflow and proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Would you have a number for them. Any idea how much it costs Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 From Thomson Local: Emerald Camshafts Unit 2 Hardess St London SE24 0HN 020 7737 7114 Cost was about £35/hour last time (a couple of years ago) and a good session is about 2-3 hours. For that I got ignition timing check, and 5 power runs with different jettings and some minor fettling with idle settings. Low tech luddite - xflow and proud!

Rob k Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 I've just rang emerald. They Don't do carbs any more. It takes to much work from there engine managment work. Booked up 6 weeks in advance. Any other ideas. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Shame about Emerald. In that case, try it yourself by dowloading Dave Andrew's weber program to get basic jettings and then set the idle yourself. Or see the GRL Woking (Surrey) thread. I found that the official Caterham settings tried to fall between the power settings and flexibility which gave oversized chokes or undersized main jets (lean either way) - So I went for the power settings and this was confirmed by Dave Walker at Emerald with the power runs that he did. For the cost of a few main/air/emulsion/idle jets, it could be worth it! Low tech luddite - xflow and proud!
