Sitting at Boise airport since Alaska canceled the sun valley flight "due to weather". Right! It was clear blue skies and u could see for miles. Oh well.

Nit-Picker! :action-smiley-027:

The air bleeds AND that idle bypass valve.

If the carb isn't getting adequate fuel pressure at idle would that impact the idle circuit function?

Sieg.... sounds like your getting closer to resolving the tuning issues with your new carb :thumbsup:

Here is a link to a thread I ran across that has some discussion about tuning the Holley HP Ultra carbs that could be helpful.

http://www.ffcars.com/forums/17-fact...carb-idle.html

I don't think it would affect idle at all.

Thanks Dale, I can definitely relate to those posts, especially j.b.goode's. :thumbsup:

Holley tech told me the transfer slot exposure is supposed to be .025 even though the manual which is relatively detailed makes no reference. That's where I set them and it results in a fast idle and the idle bypass valve is relatively ineffective in controlling idle speed. The motor has been weak/flat/stumbles/bogs when engaging the clutch which says lean. Just haven't been able to find that crisp and meaty response right off idle yet.

I'm going to retain the primary transfer slot spec and back the idle down with the secondaries and see what it gives me. It's about time to say screw the rules and tune by response!

The upside is off idle performance is pretty strong, trailing throttle in corners is good, roll on's into the secondaries near seamless. The pump cams and squirters even feel close but I will test +/- alternatives just because.

I'm close, another decade should do it at my current rate. :D

Disclosure: In no way do I feel this carb is at fault. :( .......it's me :sieg:

:idea: I saw this and immediately thought of where I could share it. Hope you haven't seen it. :D

I've seen it but it's still funny!

I not hating guys, But I was looking at this forum hoping to see an update but there are none really, for the last 23 pages or so there is not much if anything updated, should this be moved to engine Technical questions? sence he is having engine issues, I like the car and the build, just not all the chit chat, dog picks and vids, and other stuff other than updates, like I said I'm not hating, JMO, Good luck with the fix on the engine issues,

Unsubscribe....


It ain't going to get any better.

thanks
 

Trying to unsubscribe:getout:

Understood, technically it should be moved to the off-topic section since a carbureted Gen 1 engine really isn't an engine around here. :D

Please understand this is far from a high profile/budget build. It never will be as I simply can't afford it. It's somewhat representative of all the life issues, dreams, desires, and comradeship that occur within this hobby over the course of a vehicles ownership. Regarding the updates: children, employment, fiscal resources, and weather are currently impacting progress. That and a certain lack of talent. :sieg:

I certainly don't want this thread to negatively impact the true caliber of the numerous individuals, builders, and exceptional cars that are and will continue to be the foundation of Lat-g. If the managers, moderators, and key contributors feel that is the case I have no problem with them deleting the thread. :thumbsup:

Go to USER CP --- it will show all threads you're subscribed to. Under the title will be "unsubscribe".


I was kidding of course -- but I don't think the thread will ever be just purely technical. It's too much fun having fun. :lol:

In GOLF -- I'd tell you that you had a lot of LOFT in that shot....



Lack Of F'n Talent

It can always get better GW..We're just warming up :peepwall:

TRUE!!!


It's a matter of ones perspective.... Not getting any better in my perspective is AWESOME! :lol: :lol:

The excessive loft comment on the course still catches them off guard. :D

That and "do you know how much a flag stick weighs?"..........well maybe you should pick one up once in a while and you'd know. :D

Shuddup.

This forum is for its members, not solely a vendor/sponsor build showcase. Last I checked you fall into that category. See: :sieg:

Thank you.......but I know where I stand in the pecking order around here and fully accept that. I have way too much respect and appreciation for the numerous serious players here to want to compromise them in any manner with my silly build thread.

I shuddup now :sieg:

:thumbsup:

IMHO there is no pecking order. Just a bunch of friends giving each other a hard time. :cheers:

You posted the same basic complaint on another thread. Come on man.

Yeah shuddup. :D There is no pecking order. You are no less or no more important than another member. Well, maybe more important than that Weld guy. But that's a low bar. :peepwall:

If someone wants to be in an elitist atmosphere, there are plenty of forums for that (spend a few minutes on an exotic car forum).

My personal feeling is that if someone wants to chronicle the build and/or the subsequent tuning/modding/driving/etc of a car they own, they can pen the story however they please. The simple solution for those not interested -- that magic unsubscribe button.

And also, for Frankenstine, if you get email notifications for threads you are subscribed to there is also the unsubscribe link in the body of that email at the bottom.

What he said :warning: HELL If there is a "pecking order".... SIEGYDOG you got more into your carb and transmission then my whole car.. So I'd say I'm behind YOU

Which reminds me........when are you going to do a build thread on your brakes?
:action-smiley-027:

:bitchslap:

Thanks gentlemen, it's appreciated. :thumbsup:

I'm not getting overly sensitive from a personal perspective, though I do make a conscient effort to be sensitive to others even though it may not be seen on the surface......just a minute I need to grab another Kleenex. :D

Better safe than sorry in this environment without being able to read body language mistakes and assumptions can easily occur.

Please don't forget you're all an integral part of achieving the Lat-g record in a respectably competitive field for most uselessology posts and views. :rules:

Thanks
 

Unsubcribed :thankyou:

You'll be back... we know you're just dying to see if this carb will ever actually work properly. :D

Hopefully it will be close by the time you get your motor fired up. :D

WHEN IT STOPS :getout:

Now we can have some fun :lol:

:thumbsup:

Sieg to ghost rider..............requesting a fly bye

Are those two mutts happy or what!!!! :lol: :lol:

SAY WHAT???!!!!????

conscious
I can't believe your secretary caught that typo.
:sieg:

That process was pretty impressive for any dog.

Don't think I can give Tucker that much IQ credit........yet :sieg:

Sure wish he was good at tuning 4150 Holley's. :lmao:

HOW DO YOU KNOW HE AIN'T??:bitchslap: Rev on timing & Tucker on tuning!!

You gotta be kidding right. :bitchslap: Each thread is the car owners story isn't it? There has been plenty of build on this thread. Sometimes people wonder why a post doesn't have updates. What wrong with us keeping up to date with what you aren't doing? Nobody is forced to look at a thread are they? :lostmarbles:

Why do I have to read about somebody's inability to use the thread tools on this thread? Isn't there a section for that type of question?

Honestly, looks like a young dog that likes to tug on a rope and accidentally opened the door. If it was my dog, it wouldn't be tearing up my house like that. :D
