John Scott Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 For those of you that remember, I was having the wierdest carb problem. Engine would hit a rpm, 4-5000 and just stick like a rev limiter. I rebuilt the carb 3 times and finally bought a new secondary block. Seemed to go away. Returned today, but while I was messing with the fuel pressure. Seems that the pump hit so hard at 0 vacuum (15+ psi) it would blow fuel right past the boosters. With the pressure somewhat lower the engine is really picking up now. I need a fuel pressure guage I can monitor while driving. I don't like the external cowl mount guages. My own rookie error. Back to traction problems... my favorite. Got to do something about these 225/50 16 crap tires. Slow 1000 rpm rolling start, as soon as rpms hit 3500-4000 tires go up in smoke. New MSD 6AL stops the action right at 7000! Any Pressure gauge recommendations? I need a 0-25 psi. JS [This message has been edited by John Scott (edited March 21, 2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 21, 2001 Share Posted March 21, 2001 Traction problems are one of the better problems to have...also like getting sideways all the way down the street and smoke everywhere; makes the riceboys cower in fear... Glad to hear you solved the carb/fuel pressure problem; I'll take note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
