Default RE: Diesel conversion for Irvine 61

ORIGINAL: DSLarkin

Bear in mind that when Irvine went about producing their 40 diesel they started with converting a 40. they ended up with a smaller carb, a heavier crank, a longer stroke, a narrower bore, revised porting, and, of course, a new head. Otherwise the conversion was a doddle.
Piece of cake then!!
