Hey peoples,
i have a couple of issues... i have a 253VH...
now, ive been doing a bit of small work on it out the back for the past 4 months.... nothing major in terms of the enigne... so its just been sitting there. but i have started it every week and ran it to operating temp.
the small things i did include fuel pump, alarm, central locking, major service, changed springs and shockers, and just fixing up wires and small things like that..... (the reason im taking my time is cos ive lost my licence and cant drive it anyways!)
so i got a mate to take it for a good drive yesterday, and i was really dissapointed with the performance... i know that a 253 aint to powerhouse. but i really think it was going a lot harder before i serviced it 4 months ago...
i have cut the exhaust because im in the process of fitting another on, so at the time of the drive, it had no mufflers, and the stock exhaust was cut just after the trans.... i know i would have had very littel back pressure... but would this have been the sole purpose for the lack of power?
it felt like the car wasnt reving as freely as normal.... ive done leeds, plugs and air filter, so i really expected a little change...
could it maybe have been the fuel?
cheers
