This afternoon I have had the engine in the sprint special running for the first time on its updraught 1" SU carb set-up. As the engine was running without any coolant it was only for a brief period but first impressions are that it is extremely responsive and free revving. Running without an exhaust except the 4 into 1 Pigsty manifold the noise was shattering. Fortunately most of my neighbours in the churchyard opposite are dead!
Many thanks to those Forum contributors who advised me on the carburettor set-up.
