|
|
During our DYNO Test, there was an unusual problem happen to me, the engine ran great and suddenly lost power. we find out right hand side AFR meter was way too lean. There must be something wrong on the carburetor. So, we remove the right side kadron. ok
we found out there was a problem, the fuel did not go through main jet, we use pressure air blow through main jet, and even no air come out from air correction jet!
So we start to heat up the air correction jet area, and remove air jet,
Guess what!! the bottom tube was lost and block the fuel rail. So we used really high pressure air blow through main jet(main jet removed).
Finally we had the bottom piece, and it cracked on the side, and fall down and block entire fuel rail....
after soldering up fixing,
start to dyno again,

K-duds are "NOT" a performance carb!! there a replacement carb for buses and the linkage sux,I've removed alot of these things and replaced them with a single Weber and the guys can't tell the diff in preformance other then relieablity ,If you want Duals+Performance get some 40IDF's then do a pull on the Dyno I've never had to solder up Webers Madmike _________________ 'Black Ice'Drag Buggy 'Turbo'
