Ok, second drive started off fine, oil light no flicker when she's cooled off..
Sounds: 1. Lean 2. Over Advanced How many clicks off of black smoke is your mixture set @? It feels now like it wants to be shifted just under the power curve, and it pings in a 200 rpm range starting at 3k. Maybe I can string together an a/f meter from paperclips, and dustmites? I hope the oil flicker isn't bad bearings... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) 62 miles isn't better than 4800.. M |

Baaad sign if its been opened. Test it will a vacuum tester to see if its toast first.
The other bad sign is a drilled machine plug so some idiot could try to adjust it. Kevin, if you didn't sync the carbs or had two different sized carbs, how well would it run? The biggest problems with Djet are these: 1. Mis-matched parts: The "mechanic" just went thru a box of parts and grabed the first ones he could find when he installed the FI. 2. Vacuum leaks- Due to old hoses, seals, or poor assembly the engine is running lean. 3. Mechanic MPS adjustment- Due to the above problems, the mechanic then drills out the machined plug and adjusts the MPS by ear. A "trick" he learned off a matchbook cover. Once you set up Djet, its like any other FI. Just forget about it and drive! Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) |
