Hi
Reece fish was an exotic carb in the late 60's. It prooved to be very thirsty, however it did give a performance improvement. 70`s gave us petrol shortages- which prob made them less desirable.

Massive apology for digging this up, but needs must!

Does anyone know of anyone that know how to tune these things?

I'm pretty desperate!

Thanks in advance and sorry again!

I've got one of these stashed away somewhere and would love to know how you get on. They were notoriously difficult to tune. Clive Trickey was a user on his race car. His book 'Tuning the Classic Mini' has a good description on pages 75-79 describing his own developed method of getting the best out of the carb. The book is dated in it's approach but cutting edge in it's day, and a good read. It's on Amazon  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tuning-Classic-Mini-MRP-speedsport/dp/0947981616/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474379776&sr=8-1&keywords=tuning+the+classic+Mini+++Clive+Trickey     Ignore the review, it misses the point.
