Went racing again this weekend and the bike lasted the whole session. I put the timing back to standard and ran a 270 jet as suggested by someone on this site. After the first race I pulled the plug for a look and it seems to be still a bit lean (a grey colour). Instead of rejetting again I put...

OK I am ready to get going again. New piston, bottom end cleaned out and ready to rock. I need advise on the timing. If I put the timing back to the standard hole's the bike will start but won't run. If I put the timing where the new hole's are drilled it will start and run but I think the...

How can I show photos on Photobucket

By the way all the Dub needs is petrol and a bit of polish every now and again. Sweet machine.

I am going to advance the timing the way it was said. + 4 degrees and take it from there. I will mix some new gas and start with a 280 or 300 jet and run the bike. The screw at the side is at 1.5 turns out so I might increase that slightly and see what happens. I will have to do all this in...

Insane is a very good word for it. I did put the timing back to standard and it would not run. It would start but when you gave it trottle it just cut out. I will take some photo's when I get the bike stripped again and it might shine a bit of light on the subject. I should start work on the...

It's not my garage but it is my shop and they are my cars aswell. I wish the blaster ran as well as the golf does. She is as sweet as a nut. Peter

What difference does the poilet jet make. I have seen them on the Vito's web site along with the different main jets. Also on one of the posted reply's someone mentioned taking it up or down a notch? What does this mean? Peter

Is it not better to have more then less. When I split the engine yesterday at the track even with the double mixture the piston was bone dry and the plug was light grey in colour. That to me means it's lean, but should not be even with the mixture I am using.I am just going to go backwards and...

I think thats done. I am going to restart everything but I am looking for a jet kit. Something with all the different sizes so I can start and let's say 320 and work backwards until I get it right. I don't think keeping the mixture high is doing anything wrong and that would be the last step...

OK what is the tor's and is there a thread on here to show me what to do. The engine rebuild was done by a build company. Peter

All the problems are pointing towards timing and jet. What is the best way to approch the problem. It's not going to give me major trouble if it's rich but I want to start rich and work my way backwards. Peter

OK Standard carb oil system is gone The mixture Iwas told was 2ooml for four litre's of fuel( I am using double that) The Tors is standard.

I have put so many threads on the site about blowing up the Blaster I have lost count. After rebuilding the engine again for racing on Sunday. We went and blew it up again. Advise on the day suggests we are running to lean. Grey coloured plug and bone dry piston and barrel. Here's what is...

The VW is work in progress. I will put up some pic's when it's finished. The blaster hit a rock and drove it up through the bottom of the casing, hitting the crank and bending everything. Crank, con rod, piston and casing all in S**t. Thats racing.Just incase the years are different between...
