Hi All,
I have been reading lots of the threads with enjoyment, and would like to introduce myself, I have a P1800 and I have been slowly getting it mechanically ready for the last 2 years, I have rebuilt almost every mechanical item and I'm ready to the HS6 Carbs.
I have rebuilt the B18B emgine with a "C" Cam, and oversise 0.040" pistons, the rest is standard with the standard single downpipe exhaust.
I assume my engine would be a type 2 or 3 but i'm not sure the difference,
The Question is what carb needle should I be considering, should I be going for the ZH or KD.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Steve...
