Well, the "abandoned for 30 years" P6 went to the Inspection yesterday. And as I thought, it failed. Over 4 items.
There are two that concern me:
First was side mirrors. I thought if they don't come with them from factory, they don't require them. But here in Portugal they are adament I need them. So, anyone fitted side mirrors to a car that didnt originally have them (where they fit, screwing holes into bodywork etc...)
The other item was emissions. It was around 7.3% CO2, I think it should be around 2.5%?
Carbs are HS6.
The issue I have is I've tried the Gunson colourtune, no real success.
I've tuned them both by ear, and when I get engine and exhaust note nice and smooth, it seems to be off on emission?
I also noticed that one of the carb mixture screws (underneath) is more unwound than the other? I thought they would roughly be the same?
I also noticed that even unscrewing out the idle screws all the way, the idle won't drop below 900rpm. Leak somewhere?
I've had a real good fiddle and clean of the carbs, but there might be something I'm missing.
Any help is most appreciated!
Thanks
Andy
