https://youtu.be/4eiJxf2ntWM Check out this link for poor quality video of above rally, I tried to download directly to this site without success. The CK performed well and created a great deal of interest, so hopefully a few new followers? Cheers, Geoff

When next in Sainsburys checkout page 49 of Feb issue, not what I'd hoped for from all the gen I gave them, but some publicity. Cheers Geoff

not sure where to post this?  Perhaps we need a  "Recent news " post?

Events / Kop Hill Climb Sunday 22nd September 2019
« on: 20 Aug 19, 11:25 am »
The entry for this event was full I appealed under the rare vehicle route,  I received the following email which gave me an entry.

"Dear Geoff,


Sorry you needed to prompt me but I had been away.


We discussed your application at our last meeting and decided that if more cyclekarts were road legal a small group might be an attractive addition to our 2000 event.


This being so we thought that accepting your application this year would enable us to see the car in action so we could assess its suitability. Could you email me your registration number and I will send out an invitation.


Obviously, this strategy depends on cyclekarts going through the DVLA approval process. Perhaps if you think Kop is right for a few cyclekarts and we want to pursue it some publicity at the cyclekart end would help. Could we discuss at the event.


Regards

Bob Woodman


ps. Can my colleagues seek out Geoff's car to take a look . I will send it up the hill just after a real "Wolseley Hornet". For those that do not know cyclekarts are 0.7 scaled versions of vintage cars based on a gokart."
(End of email)

Geoff continued:
Although not road legal I feel cyclekarts would be an asset in the paddock area next year, either a static display or a small demonstration circuit. This is a prestigious event and would be great publicity for us, but the committee needs to be convinced, your support on the day would be very much appreciated.
Cheers, Geoff

Off Topic / Wolseley Hornet Cyclekart

At 06.00 this morning I set out to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency for a Individual Vehicle Assessment of the Hornet CK.  The inspection is based on rules in a 20 odd page manual, and was due to take 4 hours. very much to my surprise it passed and is deemed to meet the standard. so now for some insurance. cheers, Geoff

Tech Forum / Correct jets for Mikuni VM22 carb
« on: 09 Mar 19, 05:30 pm »
I have just fitted a cloned Mikuni VM22 Carb to my cloned GX200 engine, it was supposed to have the correct jets. But I don't think so.
Jets fitted; pilot 22.5   I think this is too rich?
                main 95   I think this may be too lean?
 I know some may have gone the same route, any ideas.
 Cheers, Geoff
