Morning all
Just a quick update from yesterday.
As you know we stopped short on Saturdays practice at Governors Bridge with a loss of power which was suspected to be a broken ring.
Investigations yesterday revealed that mechanically all was fine and all it seems to have been was a dodgy ignition lead! Its the 10 penny items that cause so much grief!
We continued with our plan to swap engines and yesterday saw us:-
Swap engines
Re-spray the fairing
Swap out most of the electrics - coils, ignition box etc
Much testing including taking her for a run up on a private road
Collect the new built up crank and close ratio gearbox
Drink many cups of T
All this and it rained and rained and rained!
Today looks good weather wise and first up is more testing on a private road to make some detail crab changes and then its back here to fit the fairing and 'sticker' her up ready for scrutinizing this afternoon and out again this evening.
I hope to crack on later today with the build of engine no 3 - which will be our race engine for the day featuring the very best of everything!!!
Picks soon.
Take care all and here's to a good fast and safe practice tonight.
May the timings begin and lets see of we can crack an 80mph lap from the off!!!
