Yes, another day of working on other peoples stuff. Decepticon Nate came by to finish sealing up his maxi while Cody has been chasing air leaks on his metra 80. I will tell you I have lost faith in metra since this kit has had the lousiest finish in the world. Port, transfers and cylinder are sub par. The area arount the intake studs are raised a good .5mm, bleh. WTF were they thinking. On top of that there is all this atomizer BS going on. Yes, dont panic, you may have them tuned just right but there are those who havent been able to get it and it may be due to another tuning point in your carb. Im going to try it since I have at least 75 different main jets, 10 different size idle jets, 4 different slide styles, 5 styles of needles and I still cant get the garelli to like even the smallest idle jet out there (thats a 32 BTW). Sooo, that said, Im going to ask "what about the atomizer". Fuck it.
i tried to comment back to you but i accidentally commented after you on my own post
ReplyDeletenope running cdi, 20deg btdc. the curve auto retards to about 17 or 18 deg btdc on the top end. the only thing that doesnt make sense is that i'm running a 108 main and it still acts like that..like it's lean, but i've never had to run a jet that big before. absolutely no air leaks, new seals, so hmmm i don't know. have you ever had to jet up that high?
ReplyDeletewell maybe i'll get ahold of 110-118 and see where it takes me. that's some big jetting. i'm running the yellow cdi that ed sells. same as the garelli green. it auto retards instead of auto advances. elevation here is 600ft so you're right about that. gearing is 9x36.might go to a 10 this summer, not sure. also the exhaust port height is now 25.5mm at the tallest point
