Hi, recently bought a 316 m10 carb. After a session of "spirited driving" i noticed that the engine speed limits at 4500rpm whereas the redline is at 6000.
I'm pretty certain I have the wrong dials but I just wanted to make sure. Can anyone shed some light on this? Cheers

Check the rotor arm too see if it has a spring in it.
If it does, bin it and buy a solid one :thumb:
