Just come back from the MOT station, and they have sent me home with out an MOT because the emmisions are MILES out.. like 10 times they should be.

I have replaced the entire igntion system

and put the standard carb back on with standar air filter...

i have an lcb down pipe to a sportex link pipe and back box..

any ideas why they are so high?

thanks guys

the cost should of been factored in when buying the modified parts

using less fuel will also save you money
