Subject: Re: Runs but not very well by Danspeed1 on 2014/12/5 1:40:22 Vehicle Runs Very Well! Finally! I will have some video as soon as I can find a dipstick that fits this thing. Its spraying oil everywhere. But today we got it running nice and smooth. Turns out the pump came loose in the tank and connection on the fuel pump assembly sprung a leak. I took the pump out, fixed it and reinstalled it. 42 psi of fuel pressure later the car runs amazing. I guess after the first start, I had good fuel pressure and then it started to leak dropping pressure. So upon revving the engine it didn't have enough fuel or pressure to rev up. Now it revs nice and smooth. when I shut the motor I have about 35psi of pressure holding and about 42 at idle. Now I have to work on getting the timing right. Its running at 1000 RPM's at about 18*. I haven't timed one of these in a while so I an sure I am not using the proper procedure. Super excited that this thing is one huge step closer to the dyno! DG |
