16v on carbs - project back on track!

Woohoo!

Some of you may remember me posting that I had been given a 16v engine which needed some work - well it turned out to be foofed beyond revival.

Well, I just got a call from a friend who has bought a late valver for breaking and has offered me the engine (have to negotiate the price though… :wink: ).

Looks like project "Sucky Sucky" (16v on Honda CBR Carbs) is back on track… Well next spring it will be anyway - way too cold to be playing in the garage at the moment!

AL.

buy a heater and get going - was in my garage to 11.30 last night - heater going Grrrrrrrrreat! 8)

You must have been freezing!!!

I did have a heater, though never ever tried it. Gave it to my mate for his garage!

I think I have decided on my plan of attack:
I will put the valver in as it is on injection for the time being, down my mates garage so I can use his ramps/hoists etc.
I can then get the carbs refurbished and a manifold made up. Then I can play about fitting them at home in my own garage.

That way I won't have to leave my beloved golf anywhere for days/weeks while we get it running right on the carbs!

Ooh - I'm all excited again now!

Al are you going to have 2 Mk1s after this, or are you upgrading your current one?
