Hi everyone,

I'm cleaning out the shed, and found 3 old 56A 4 speeds. One is definately identified as buggered (bearing). One of the remaining 2 is also buggered, but the last one has been there so long I don't know if its okay or not. Both shafts turn okay by hand.

They're destined for a skip bin, unless anyone here would like to take 'em and see if one works, or for parts. It seems like a shame to toss them, if anyone has a use for them.

Located in Greenslopes, Brisbane, but you'll have to let me know before the skip goes (it's booked for the morning).

Thanks for your reply. You're correct in that each throat feeds a manifold runner that then splits into two.

The engine runs well on wide open throttle, the problem is at small openings. To accelerate to a decent speed where it will take full throttle, I have to quickly pump the throttle in and out. The problem is worse when cold.

I figured that by doing this I'm effectively running it with the acceleration pump. The tuner seemed to think that the flow through the carb at low engine speeds wasn't enough to let the carb add fuel to the mixture.

Could someone reccommend a good tuner in Brisbane?

The vehicle is a Honda S800, hence the lack of space.

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind and was hoping to get some opinions.

I've just had the car in for a tune. The shop had it for a couple of weeks but didn't have any success. Their opinion was that the carbi is too big.

Specs are A15, 1mm overbore, 9.5:1, 41mm and 34mm valves, 4-2-1 extractors, light flywheel, double valve springs, cam is 66-30 degrees exhaust and 33-68 degrees inlet. Carbi is a 40mm Dellorto side draught, with 34mm chokes on a custom manifold.

So is the carbi too big? What other options would you suggest? Problem is that there isn't enough under bonnet clearance for a downdraught, and not enough width for dual SU type carbis.

Thanks, Nathan

Does anyone know the torque capacity of the R31/VN commodore diff to compare with the previous list?

What about the Hilux?
