Hello,
I would appreciate any input, Peter, thank you. Please do ask your friend Hans if there are any tricks(!).

At all other times, it runs almost like a FI car with a smooth idle, no sags under acceleration and it can pull 4th gear WOT from 25mph on a flat road without any snatching.

I am using motor oil, 20w in the damper. With ATF, the acceleration is poor, what with the 100% humidity and almost 100F weather here in the tropics.

This application does have a heat riser, it is *non operational* as in it is stuck somewhere, I cannot ascertain if it is on full heat, or fully closed or somewhere in between!

Have a good weekend
