Tuners (South East)

Can anyone recommend a tuner located in the south east or a fellow club member who is willing to help me?

I need to find someone who can help me with just the very basic setup of my engine - so that it stays idling.....

Currently it will fire up no problem, but seems to get bogged down and then die.

Its a SBC with Holley 500cfm carb.

Re: Tuners (South East)

Brian - I will be down to visit my parents in Eastbourne, but not untill the weekend b4 Xmas.

If you can wait 'till then, I should be more than happy to help, even if it is a chevy.

As a quick fix, try just pushing the idle speed up a bit.

Wilf,

Thank you sir, you're more than welcome to stop by if you're down this way. If it's the week before xmas I'll ensure there are warm mince pies on standby.
