Newby from Glasgow
Hi All,
Ive owned my Green 12a for about 3 months now, not had a huge amount of use as I was waiting for a weber 48 ida and manifold,
so, 3 weeks ago I finally got the carb fired her up then 4 days later raced at Doune hill climb in the British Hillclimb championships.
Big learning curve !
Hope to tell you more about it in a different post.
Anny hooo,

Re: Newby from Glasgow
Hi there and welcome! Look forward to seeing your build thread. I just swapped to a 48IDA on mine so be interesting to hear how you get on with yours. Starting seems a biatch, or is there a knack I'm missing?

Mine starts fairly quick, all I need to do is pump the throttle 4-5 times.
I also had to turn the dizzy clockwise after fitting as she was knocking badly at high revs.
Runs a bit rough at low speed but hope to dial this out some how ?
What the best way in posting pics on here btw ?

Try Photobucket or something like that to get pics on here.
IDA is known for having an abrupt transition onto the main circuit. Google "IDA third progression hole".

Re: Newby from Glasgow
engine bay need tidying with the un-used wires but it does mean I can put the original carb back on if I want.
had her out today and seem to be running better after a few tweaks to the dizzy and removed the Fuel press regulator.

Re: Newby from Glasgow
I see you've got it advertised for sale..... had much interest in it? Sounds like it goes well in your hill climb video.

Re: Newby from Glasgow
She's on Ebay but not to bothered if she sells, I have been hit with a big bill for my other car and could do with the cash.
It's supprising how well the standard car copes with Doune, Im sure I could have gone quicker but I took it easy that week end, I had to drive to work on Monday morning
With some sticky tyres and lower springs she would give the 'modern hot hatches' a run for there money
