DAKAR


We can take on all types of 4*4, this bright yellow Dakar was making poor performance and economy and had to be attached too.
DAKAR

Poor running was suspected to be down to the ignition system, but it some proved that the real problem was with the Carbs. A "Weber 500" was the solution.

In true RPi fashion, the customer was allowed to work on his own vehicle, and with our guidance and assistance we where able to get twice as much done for half the cost.

Offroad Update

Spent this weekend in salisbury for our annual off-roading expedition. Experienced no problems with the carb at all. Mid throttle response is excellent, and my mate in his 5.7 chevvy LR hybrid "struggled" to keep up with in on the road.
