Testing FI Fuel Pressure FAQ

[WESTYJACK]

new update
an maybe the resolve

after 2 hours go under the bus unpluged the inlet hose of the pump (good flow) an this was pass the fuel filter so filter good

after this time the pump was cool
start it start right up with 40-45 psi
go under the bus and the pump make no sound and it idle perfectly put my hand on the pump and nothing
return up an rev trhe bus about 3000 rpm
return under the pump start to make sound like vibration put my hand on the pump and feel something vibrating
my wife tell me this morning "hey what is that sound" it was the pump
so now i know that the pump make no sound when it is working ok

my oppnion
pump goes hot why? start to make noise after some time and drop in pressure
i'l check for filter in pump no filter

The best timing for your engine will be 28° BTDC @3500+ rpm, hose(s) off and plugged. Depending on what distributor you have and its condition, if you time your engine to the spec given in the book it may not run all that well or may run hot.

[WESTYJACK]

Thanks
first check dist if advance work ok
next timing at 28 BTDC at 3500 rmp
last thing
install my gauge

oil pressure
head temp
volmeter
alarm for head temp
tacho
put photos

Lubing the Distributor


Link

[WESTYJACK]

update
work on the distributor 005 clean and lube (TCASH)

contact breaker dwell 50 (a bit used)
contact breaker gap .016
timing 32-34 BTDC at 3500 rmp (have to redo dont remember if vacuum was unplung)

advance work ok and dist can hold vacuum

your opinion?

It is: next timing at 28 BTDC at 3500 hosed disconnected and plugged.

[WESTYJACK]

update
dwell at 45-50
timing at 28 BTDC @ 3500

i have an exhaust leak at deceleration small back fire or pop at the exhaust

go for road test
engine idle and run great
i try to get a cruising speed of 60mph it's seem to be very long to get that speed
i'm not very used to run air cooled engine so maybe not go enough higher in rpm
remark my rpm in the dash is not install yet
your comment please
thanks

Look in the Owners manual for shift point and speeds.

A little reading.

The timing was with the hose(s) disconnected from the vacuum can?

[WESTYJACK]

yes and hose blocked

order center pin (loose in steering)
check everything but loose come from there for sure

What do you think about performance of the engine
dwell ok
point at 016 check and clean
timing at 28 BTDC at 3500 rpm
last compression test around 110-120 each

leak at exhaust
but like i write earlier newbie to aircooled but trying to make 60mph last run seem like impossible
the only thing i can see is i dont rev enough the engine to make it
if i remember right i shift 3 to 4 at maybe 40-45 mph (canada 60KmH)

The engine should run 75mph/120Kph easily enough.

Do a 30 kilometer highway run and then pull a plug and get us a nice sharp picture of it.
