    shux brackie cheers guys. thanks for the encouragement. i love the apc idea!

    got the carbie cleaned today, had a problem over the weekend that prevented the car frm idling at all. the idle circuit on the primar was totally blocked with some crud...

    as a result, i can give you guys some JETTING INFO! wohoo! but its only a provisor, since this carbie is WEIRD. its got venturies in it from some other carbie, and a strange air bleed port in the primary..???

    anyhoo. the carbie atm has a genuine 135 main jet with 190 air corrector. these dont appear to be modified. the car gets good economy, and runs very well (on the primary). i can consistently get better than 7l/100km highway driving and better than 8.5l/100km in town being nice.

    the secondary is an unknown jet size, but i would say is bigger than 145 (its marked 135 but has been bored out.. ) and has a 195 air corrector.

    the primary idle jet is .5 and the secondary is .55 - pretty normal.

    i will be finding a 135 jet for it soon to see if it will lean out the secondary a bit. at the mo, its black smoke and no power once the seconday opens up, causing some serious annoyance to me.

    theres the warning to all those who think you can just drill out your jets and go faster....

    happy golfing,

    no put downs or unfriendly-ness intended mate. sorry if it sounded that way

    it does remind me of the gld, except theres less smoke and more acceleration as opposed to more smoke and less acceleration

    as far as internals its standard.... i've modified the ignition and the exhaust... if the 135 on the primary is standard, it runs pretty well on that.

    i will be getting a 135 jet for the secondary as soon as i can find one.
