    Hey guys,

    Well, the Giannelli pipe is fitted, and yesterday i put some lighter rollers in.

    I took it for a spin, and the whole setup works great.
    The only thing is that the engine makes a foo noise occasionally when going flat out....(ie at top speed.... during acceleration everything is fine...)
    Just wondering if anyone knows what this is.

    Ive got the modified airbox on, a 21mm carb with a 78 jet in it.

    gap should be good... i regap everytime the plug comes out....
    gap is around 0.55mm

    might be rich....

    at least its not lean.... thats what i was initially worried about.

    it only makes the noise when im going flat out ie 75-80km/h (48-50mph) and it does it every few seconds......

    ie brrrrrrrr foo brrrrrr foo foo brrrrrrr.... etc...
    (brrrr = normal engine running....and yes... i may be insane)....

    it doesnt detract from performance at all...its just a noise at the moment.

    like, the sound a cold pidgion would make.. ignor hijm...

    sounds like its riching out a bit, mabey play with reed material thickness and have another mess with the rollers and jets.
