Can Anyone recommend a rolling road company. ideally in or near Surrey/Sussex.
For carb jetting and tuning session.
Be nice if they had weber carb experiance and didn't mind an aircooled motor

Thanks

Hi Buddy,

These guys  http://www.vmaxscart.co.uk/  They do a air cooled, he's very air cooled savvy.  Melly B has used them and I think Mickyb as well.

If you can't eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.

Dave, I understand the Colchester chap has now closed down and retired.  :'(

Another recommendation from me and others is a chap near Wimple (near Royston Cambridgeshire) BUT again likely too far away for you Streetbuggy in surrey/sussex.

So did i but he phoned me to tell me it had a problem and he couldn't set it up properly and i should take it away and bring it back fixed for him to tune! Had a few calls to him , a few arguments about what was wrong with it, he was adamant it was valves or piston faulty and i asked him if he checked the ignition system, which he scoffed at.
I spent a week annoying farmer rob and manx david with questions, checking and resetting valves, installing a fuel regulator, compression testing and running it, re jetting it and stripping the carbs 4 times before running it over a 10 mile route to find the problem would always start in the same place, about 8 miles in so i thought if it accrued in the same place it couldn't be mechanical, more like something was letting go when it got hot, so i changed the dizzy from electronic module back to good old 009, reset the timing and ran it and it's been perfect ever since! So did he actually check the ignition system?
Funny, i thought i took it to him to check, test and set these things, apparently he "Doesn't do mechanical repairs, I just tune stuff" Enough said, never taking anything there again.
