X3841 Below is the best performance we have obtained from the engine fitted with these carburetters. The engine is the dry liner type - compression ratio 6 to 1. REVS. C/B.HP. M.E.P.

We cannot do much more with the RR. horizontal carbs. on the 6-cyl. unit until modifications are made which are in hand. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
