SU needles for high altitude

Post by Peter Pleitner » Wed Feb 13, 2002 1:05 pm

Hi Whitworth Heads, For my stock XPAG engine, what needles should I install for operation at two to three thousand meters altitude? Any idea who carries them? No, not attaching wings, going to GoF West, in Colorado that is ;-) Cheers, Peter

Peter: If you just leave the stock ES needles in for the trip, you will have no trouble. You will just have to lean the jets a bit when you get up to about 5000 ft. (What are meters)'!!!!!!!??? Cheers: Skip.........Trust me ! I have been there and done that. At 04:07 PM 2/13/02 -0500, Peter Pleitner wrote:

If I can get to Durango (75 miles but 2-1/2 hours) I'll be [i]dropping[/i] from 7200 ft. I've never changed the needles (I keep dreaming about living in Florida), so not to worry, Peter. Austin

Murray; You have been had!! That was just a little bit of levity. As you know, we here in the Colonies dont use metric for the most part. In my case , after using and being taught feet,inches, lbs. etc. It is very hard to re-learn after almost 70 years. Any way, I am glad that I did catch somebody.

We know what meters are here in the USA. We have had Speedo meters and Tacho meters on our cars for many years. Ed Curtis curtis@novagate.com

You've got your meters and you've got your vegetarians.
Me? I'm a meter.

G'day Skip Far as I can tell M-E-T-E-R-S are things used to measure household gas consumption. Perhaps you're confusing things with METRES... which are continental bizzos just a bit longer than a yard. Yours Imperially Jeff TA2828 TC3306
