Hi Ian,
in the video you can see how the adaptor is working at 1800U/min (remember Bridgeport 12A )engine. My daughter inject a little to much oil directly in the carb. I am waiting the 4 Stroke oil dark is out of the lines and the red 2 Stroke oil is coming. I give the mechanical carb linkage a little more opening with shimming so more oil should be inject as normally. Pics of the sparks plug later as i have not many time these week. I dislike the smell of the new castrol 2 stroke oil, so searching some Oil with more racing taste :lol:

Thomas,

did you leave the a/c evaporator in place in your car?

You don't run air-conditioning do you?

With the PP bridgeport engine it 's not so good AC in the car. Cause of idle, bad sparkplug service, high rev engine. But all equipment is a quick built in for me no problem. I take special compressor oil and R 402 a instead of forbidden R12.

very nice polished components h[b[
is that a stock size condenser out of a FB or is it from a different type of car that you've adapted to fit your car?
