These are the worst conditions that can take place however, and it remains to be seen how a compromised setting will work on our cars. Conclusion. The S.U. starting device which we have tested previously is to be sent back to S.U.'s to be checked and brought up to date. It will then be tried on a test bed engine and the most suitable position found for connection to the induction pipe. The induction pipe and special fittings will then be available for testing on a car in the cold chamber. RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
