Run it on 95RON fuel and advance the timing a couple of degrees.

Install NGK IridiumIX spark plugs and a Bosch transformer in place of the coil.

Then I suppose there's a little room to frig with the cam and the carby, and exhaust if you're really keen...

But at the end of the day, you'll only net subtle gains, and you're far better saving your money for an F8B.

-use it as a comfy seat while putting in your new engine
-see what a motor looks like when thrown off a cliff
-use it to help put a k6a or a cb70 into your mightyboy
-as an educational tool to find out how an engine works - and how not to put it back together
-sell it for 20$ or less
-put it on a trophy stand and give it to your mate


catch my drift? 8)

:lol: You blokes are just too funny.

I can supply rough plans to build an air compressor from said engine, or from an air cond. compressor to be driven by any power source you like (almost).

So many delays to getting my MB back in order with 993cc & 5 speed transaxle... neighbor issue gone, donor shell up on rotisserie, new sheds on the way.... another project also..
