There are any umpteen threads on every bike forum about starting problems, poor throttle response, engines cutting out and its all down to electrickery or in other words the EU (night!) Emission Standards. In order to achieve these manufacturers have had to replace the good old reliable carb with computer controlled fuel injection, a catalytic converter and run a much leaner Air-Fuel Ratio than the ideal 15:1, sometimes as lean as 17:1. And now this from the Daily Telegraph on Monday
Britain’s domestic vacuum cleaners will become less powerful under European Union rules designed to cut energy use that come into force next year.
New machines will be banned from having motors that exceed 1,600W from September 2014, and they will be limited to 900W from 2017.
Currently the average vacuum cleaner on the market has a 1,800W motor, and some use as much as 2,200W of power
Our cretins (aka Government) are going along with all this ecoshit but its just an exercise in complete futility when you balance the EU's efforts against the fact that China and India are opening 4 new coal fired power stations EVERY EFFING WEEK!!
"What do we want? Carburettors. When do we want them? Now. What do we want? No catalytic converters, no ECU's, no EGS, 2000W vacuum cleaners etc etc "
