Same cam grind, new MSD Ready to Run kit.

Gear drive. The issue is below 2K'ish rpm. I pulled the carb and set the transfer slot exposure and nothing else..........It's coming off again for a thorough once over, base plate seal, bowls, and metering blocks inspection, and blow out the passages.

Sieg,

I can ask a troubleshooter to stop by your place and have a look.


One question-is the airport closest to you big enough to handle 'Weld One' landing there? ;)

That's an easy question.....................NO!

If it's a C-130 deviation YES!

Went through the tach wiring and altered the light and ground sources, and to make Greg happy my engine ground strap that was back-ordered finally came in. :D

Haven't fired it yet, but the needle response on the tach has change when switching the key to the on position. Just made it to 32* and I'm in no hurry to open the garage to fire it. :D

If the cleaned up wiring makes no change........off with the carb!

You know why they call doing electricity "making a circuit" -- cause the positive side also travels thru the negative side... :unibrow:


I don't think this is the "solution" --- but it certainly won't hurt anything.


BTW -- 32*'s REALLY? And you're whining about that?!?! Come over to Sun Valley.... it's 21* right now (5:00 PM) and will be -2* tonight.

But it sure is pretty!! Thus the "SUN Valley" :D

Baldy -- from our parking lot this morning!

Har-de-har-har

It probably won't but it's PITA detail work that needed to be done. :yes:

Yes I am whinning, I was out in it for 4+ hours today...........that resulted in serious shrinkage.

Enough with the pics of storage buildings and baldy top, I want to see one of you in your snow bunny costume. :unibrow:

Pulled the carb apart and blew everything out to make sure all passages were clear and double checked all settings. Re-installed and fired it, similar results. I DID NOT pull the fuel screws previously so I pulled then and blew the passages out. Reinstalled the screws at 2 turns out vs 1.5-6 and fired it and it still felt a little hollow off idle......went to 2.5 and conditions improved, still stumbled a bit with quick off idle input, took the .017" slack out of the primary accel pump and bingo it's close. Checked the initial timing and bumped it to 12* with no floating problem.

:bang:

Lean condition caused the erratic timing? Fuel screw passage partially blocked? Symptoms compounded by considerable temperature drop and air density increase? Either way it appears I have a drive-able baseline to tune from. Feel like an idiot but I'm getting used to it......to honor the fact Jody gave me my own special smiley. :sieg:

X2. :thumbsup:

It's certainly no fun for you, but a little tech during the middle of winter is good for us restless natives here. :D

You know I didn't think about how the cold and dense air could excasperate the problem.... My car runs like crap below 40....
