I?m currently in the process of building my B230FT for 300-400bhp to eventually slot into my 1987 744 with an M47 box.
This is a fair way off mind, I keep adding to the build which pumps the budget up so it?s getting delayed.
In the meantime the 744 is off the road and I?d like to start using it for running around. Currently has a B230 with a carburettor but it idles terribly and is as smooth to drive as falling down the stairs, on your face, naked.
Wondering if it?s worth stripping the existing carb and giving it some TLC, or throw it away and put some motorbike carbs on instead. Don?t want to spend crazy money on it but if I?m patient enough I can probably put the parts together cheap enough.
Has anyone does this before and what are your experiences, any hidden downfalls to expect which will chew on my wallet, how straight forward is it??
