Carb issue I think

<< < (2/3) > >>

mch46:
Are you pulsing the fuel pump from the carb or from the valve cover?

free2race:
If the motor in 3nracing97 was bad. I would like to buy that motor. That car is wicked fast.

3nracing97:
It just had no power,  we had it geared as high as we could so we could get top speed.  It sucked on the starts but he could keep it rolling and it was horrible trying to pass,  if he let out he was going nowhere.  It was pretty good though with the plate in the wrong spot!!

GoneDirt:
just checked the valves and they were at 9in 14 out, i set them to 6 in 8 out, checked the plugs and gapped to .030 I removed the restricter and revs fast all the way to the rev limit. reinstalled the restricter plate and a slight hesitation during acceleration but will rev to the rev limiter.
I have the stock jets back in and also tried bigger and mad no difference.

also done a compression check and pumped 175

3nracing97:
The valves being out could have been alot of the problem I have ran into that before and it ran fine after I got the valves right.  The bad thing is the only way to know if it is right is to put it on the track under load.
