Sponsors are not keen so it would be out of my pocket.

Sorry, the first part I can not imagine.
The 2cv is a cult car and something many people have something with. That should be appealing to (the right) sponsors.

Display your 2cv racer at their company event or so and the 'car' ;) will be the star of the day/evening.

Hi Bert, you may consider starting a C1/107/Aygo racing club. From what I read it seems there are quite a few participants around, however watch out; there may be German dudes taking over  :D ;D ;) :-*

Undoubtedly one of the attractions of faster C1s amongst UK 2cvs is their ability to overtake the 2cvs in anybody's hands, overtaking is sometimes fun but a lot more so if there is the achievement of overtaking something with the same capability having made a classic duck & dive manoeuver. I can overtake 2cvs in my Renault Master, VW Touran or Camper, never felt much pleasure though.

entirely off topic, but I met an A7 this week which didn't like me overtaking him, so he put his foot down. Met him again a couple of minutes later at the next traffic lights and I managed to pull away a good bit :o Then he had to overtake me and stay left at the next traffic lights, so I went right (this is on the european continent ;)). He was a bit brighter that time, but still I got 3 or 4m before he started moving and he couldn't make it back up before we got to 50/60kmh  ;D All that with only some 30hp, who needs a BMW bike engine? ;)

Which pipe is the overflow pipe?

I am only an outsider but must say I find it quite a shame that modern cars join the 2CV 24hrs.

What I don't understand is that Rent boys had 2 red 2cv's out last year(s). Assuming they still have those, why do they bring out 2 C1's and the 43 Gulf colored 2CV instead?? Why not race the red 2CVs they already have in the garage (+ Gulf 2CV)?? Meyrick Cox writes elsewhere they have spares etc enough.

Anyway, everybody have good time this weekend!!

Tilting the complete engine? haha, good idea!
I suppose that spacer must be about 1 cm or so?

I feel 1cm is a bit much. Iirc MRB used a thick shockabsorber washer for this. However that was with a weber carb.

does/do your accelerator pump(s)/enrichment work as should?
I once rebuild a big single choke solex carb and had put the lever for the accelerator pump the wrong way around, causing the enrichment to come in later/at much more throttle opening and that gave a similar engine behavior as you describe.   

and the weather forecast hast cleared up!!
