So I took the dashpot off and did AC's test. Very slow and hard to push up but actually fell pretty quickly. The new damper 2085 arrived in the post this morning so I decided to experiment with the old one. I filed a little bit off the sides of the bottom part and ran a file round the top ring. Didn't make a huge difference so emptied the damper out and replaced the oil (was 20/50) with proper SU oil.
Well its a different car frankly no hesitation. pretty instant throttle response when you go back on the power from a gear change. Does feel like there is a little less power at the very top end but I suspect that is my imagination.
Oddly I'm a little dissapointed as if I couldnt fix it i was going to buy the twin HS4's. I suppose its £400 saved though. LOL
Thanks everyone in particular AC for the advice.
