pressure is regulated at the rail end, in theory if its lower it would run lean and very hot

Slight update :D

went up today and removed the towbar (for another van) and the LPG tank and also the 12mm ply from the floor :D should save a bit of weight :lol:

tried to start it but the battery was too dead so a new battery and an MOT should be ok for north weald this year 8)

still a lot off issues to sort but all being well should get on with it this summer :D
