got a couple issues I could use some advice on. 2316cc with weber 44's
1: CHT i gave a micro1000 CHT gauge.. its not reading anything.. i have it under #3 cylinder and its connected to the extension line and heat shrinked and on the gauge its red to + and purple to - . this is the only way it will go as one is a male and the other is a female connector. 2: carbs are running lop sided. right bank is pulling about 5 and the left side is pulling 12-14. this is with the idle speed screws backed right off. Any adjustments on the right banks mixture screws do pretty well nothing until closed and then is sputters a bit. Adjusting the mixture screws on the left side start making changes to the idle and sound of th engine immediately.. 3: voltage gauge is not reading anything but the idiot light does go out once the motor is running 4: fuel gauge and the temp gauge ( in combo gauge) are both pegged.. I think this is most likely ground. i'll check that in a min. I only put a couple gallons of gas in the tank. side note.. once motor was warmed up doing cam break in the oil pressure was steady at a hair over 20psi andi only have one small drip of oil on one valve cover, which i'll look at when i do a valve adjustment. |

just over 20psi at just over 2000 rpm where I was breaking in the cam. It was closer to 40psi when i first started it up and as the motor warmed up the pressure dropped to just over 20 at a steady2000-2200 rpm.
I have not re adjusted the valves yet as the motor is still hot..i'll be adjusting them and changing the oil tomorrow. as for the sync thats the problem i'm having. i'm getting the out of sync at idle. I have the tangerine racing cable throttle setup. at idle i have the cables just a hair loose and both carb actuate at exactly the same time. at idle i've backed off the idle speed screws to 1\2 a turn in from touching. |
