I rebuilt my JX engine over the winter and have been enjoying using the van for a few months now. I want to ask other JX drivers what sort of power you'd expect from the engine? I ask because I don't really have a valid reference from before the rebuild as the engine was in quite a bad state, and it was a fair while ago.
I was driving home along the m25 from playing a gig the other night and just couldn't help but feel that the engine is quite under powered. Only me and a drum kit in the van. I generally try and cruise on the motorway at around 55-60mph but on some of the uphill m25 sections I would slow all the way down to 35-40mph and have to go into 4th gear (on a 5-speed gearbox) to continue up the hill. The uphill parts on the m25 are really not that steep at all!
Does this sound familiar to you guys? Or do you think I need to look into something else?
Thanks,
Ross
