haha, nah, I'm keeping them as is I'm afraid

Just considering changing a couple of bits over from the primer ready for when this one is up and running fully and the main 14 in the garage

Update:
Cleaned injectors turned up yesterday but had to collect them from the local royal mail place this morning due to them being send special delivery and I was at work. Pleased with the turnaround speed. Here's one of the cleaned sets:



tried to get a couple of shots that show the red flake in the paint while I was outside, excuse the phone pics not really doing it justice:





the paint does need a little bit of TLC as there's a few marks and swirls in the lacquer, but a proper detail shold sort more of them out

here's hopefully a vid of the first start up with the cleaned injectors in. before I couldn't blip the throttle like that especially when cold without it really struggling and coughing/missing. Feels much better now. Still needs a proper map sorting but fingers crossed I'm getting somewhere

@Hooli - Excuse the view of the washing machine cover haha

At least you don't need a tumble dryer too in this weather!

@Big Geordi
I can't help it. I'm a primer owner and therefore used to a more sedate pace

For getting rid of those swirls, look at Menzerna 3 in 1 Polish

However if the paint has a clear coat finish then you may need this instead

This stuff is great, it is a degrading cutting compound that leaves the surface swirl and streak free. Apply using make-up remover pads and buff off with a nice soft cloth. I've got rid of countless swirl marks using Menzerna products

Just thought I'd chuck a quick update on here.....

Nothing much has happened with this machine recently, mainly because of a big walking challenge I was doing up in Scotlandshire a couple of weeks ago, and I've been waiting to get booked in with the dyno guy who has been a bit busy with it being in the middle of race season too.

Last weekend I went out to give it a good test with the cleaned injectors etc. and did about 260 miles over the two days, just bimbling gently as there's a chance that it's running too lean atm and I didn't want to rag it and break something. Seems to be running much nicer, although still not 100% due to the map, but it picks up cleanly on the throttle without coughing and spluttering so much so things are looking good.

Got it booked in for a dyno session on Wednesday afternoon, so hopefully it will be just about sorted then.

I have also spent £30 on some can hangers that were on evilbay to replace the standard ones as It may end up just a single seat ride (depending on how things go with it)

They're there, just mini aftermarket ones. Can see it just next to the number plate
