| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}7/AP.5.6.37 All of these carburetters appear to have the latter character- istic in various forms of intensity. Regarding the second car (Sheriff) the idling was quite good after carrying out the aforementioned modifications. We are going to continue to carry out further experiments with a view to further improving the faults without having to resort to anything which means a big job. In the meantime we are issuing a Depot Sheet for the improve- ments already known and which can be adopted, namely:- (1) Modified governor and reduced hand control range. (2) Tappets set at .008. (3) K.L.G. FLB.30.X. spark plugs at .025 gap. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} | ||
