Mark was runing a uprated pump
Deff a fuel problem not helped by low fuel and no swirl pot thinking about it now
Hope it's just an injector and we can get the rest sorted for next time



Didn't you and Joe come up with an inexpensive swirl pot solution..? Now's the time to get it as it's in a garage now getting some work and they can fit it :lol:

could this be part of the problem

Clicky

If so then perhaps modifying the intake to the pump would help.

I was running an uprated pump BUT I think it was faulty, it was very noisy when priming and noisy when running. I still had the misfire at high revs after I changed the plug and injector. I then changed the pump and it seems to be ok.

he was running low petrol to minimise weight but the track was 90% right handers so the fuel should have been by the fuel pump but i am hoping its just an injector thumbsup

Well, at least that's easily replaceable if a valve has broken and done any damage to the crown. Would be a pisser if it was a Wiseco or whatever and you couldn't get a single replacement either quickly, or at a sensible price. If J&L haven't got 20 standard pistons lying around between them, I think I've still got some in the garage.

I've got a set of 4 in the boot still you can have, only 50k on them :D

Got a set of Eagle Rods still for sale, it'd be rude not to while you're doing the pistons :)
