Try a thicker oil, the thicker it is the richer it will run under acceleration. Stick some engine oil in a try that.
like that, makes perfect sence, I got a redband spring in the SU4 , 4.5oz is that strong enough

To be honest I don't know, I'm not that up on that kind of thing.
I'd try the oil first!

Well, not updated for a while!!
He got to Bingley but used as much oil as fuel!!
Huge(and I mean huge) oil leak from the timing chain cover. I had a couple of hours today so I fitted a new gasket and seal. Covered it all in sealent as well.
The alternator was noisy as well so I've got a new one to go on.
I've also got his new brakes/wheels/brake hoses to go on as well.
Bring on Malvern!!
