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 to add a bit more info.. I'm out in the garage right now...
I decided to check the compression to "just make sure" nothing else is going on numbers were... 1- 145 2- 150 3 - 150 4 - 150 this makes me happy :-) Also.. the intake manifolds nuts are 5ft/lbs right ?? That's not a lot... |
