Shorten the arm by two and half full turns in the first instance and road test. Ideally, 0.35 bar is just right for standard setup, so you might need another half turn, or so to get it bang on. If you like it now ... You'll love it when it has the right power! Great news, mate ... Enjoy :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
