Ford Escort Mk1 body with 605mm wheelbase

Here's how the 37,7cc sounds. This was the actual first start so running very rich. Revs really well.

Yes, I used a Trevor Simpson G62 reed. Also took a look at G460 reed but that was not what I wanted and needed. However I did find the G460 carb better than the G62. They are both as big from the venturi but the jetting in the G460 is better. Just my opinion.

First careful drive to see how it looks and tune the BSW 2-speed. First gear is 20/54 and the car now weighs 16 kilos.
