DOING THE DYNO
Anyone from Sydney area who can recommend a good dyno place?
Also wondering what it will cost to do the dyno and tune up thing. Just switched to unleaded, and mean to get my CDI kit working properly, but my
timing adjustment methods (mainly swearing and repeatedly counting all six of the notches on my ancient crank pulley) leave a lot to be desired. Seems
the CDI kit idles great (unbelievably smooth, and crackling Dragonball Z style power start) but messes with timing as the revs go up. I think
it's because of the fast rise time of the super CDI spark, but as I don't have access to an oscilloscope I don't really know. What am I
up for cashwise for a (quick) stint on the dyno? any good, clean, disease free, reputable, tasty, honest places around Sydney? *looks vaguely lost*

There is a place at Tarren Point that was cheaper......... but didnt come across as helpful. If you do a searck for Dyno Day and look for the earliest
posts.
I listed contact details for both back then

If u just want a blatt on the dyno Peter then u may get some deal for around $50, but if u want to spend time fiddling with the motor & having
consecutive runs, prepare to pay some bucks.
