    Hi all my engine is lacking power lately, I can tell because when I pull off, there is 3 second gap between it gaining speed, not much, but enough to impact.

    Any general practises I can use to fine tune my engine a bit or tweak? I'ts a 1.1 p reg btw.

    Thanks in advance

    First thing is to give it a good service, oil, oil filter, air filter, sparkplugs - then see how it is after that!

    Good service could increase trottle response. Any power mods are a waste of money on a 1.1 imo

    as said service it first, could be your fuel filter being blocked

    Yer, worry didn't make it too clear but yes engine response is the delay.
