Hi, I've a problem with some 1.5 twin su carbs I've had put on to my British Open Classic. The accleration alittle sluggish but not too bad and the only way I can discribe it as it hicc-ups every now and than. I'd had 2 different sets of richer neddles fitted but does not seem to fix the problem. The car tickes over fine and sounds nice on tick-over and starts first time every time. I've fitted a 3 branch exhaust and a s/s RC/40 rear box but I've left the cat. in, could this have anything to do with it? and would it run better with out it. If anyone could give help it would be greatly welcome.............Cheers :'(
