Did you change the termostat along with the 295?

Nope, kept my thermostat that was in my old head ( CAM 4810)

Weird, i'd expect it to run hotter with wrong fuelling

Yeah , me too.

Did flush the cooling system though, runs aroudn 80° celsius now

Use an infrared tool and get the temp across different points on the cyl head i dont rely on the mini gauges

70-85 degs are about normal (depending on ambient temp)

Have you had the chance of setting it with a CO gauge?

[Dusky]

Using a new capilar gauge

Calibrated it with boiling water.

 

Haven't had a chance to set the Co, as there was a bereavement in my family, but will keep you posted!

 

cheers

[jaydee]

Sorry for that

Keep us updated

Guess you have varified this, but is the distributor advancing with rpm? I have seen distributors seized on the advance cam to driveshaft, and not advancing as rpm increases, causing very sluggish performance.

[Dusky]

It is advancing yes.
Changed the needles back to E3, and installed the standard air filter box.
Goes 100 km/h up a hill now, so thats something
