As one can derive from following these pages I have rebuilt a 2056. After that I have had problems with cooling. On the trip to ockteenerfest I was able to make close to all out full power and still stay below 400 on the cht. But, it was at an air fuel ratio of between 10-11. Seems awfully rich to me, but I am a chemist looking for a perfect match. Fuel mileage went by the board but I wasn't driving 55 worrying that the engine would over heat. Yeah, it is stock FI with a webcam.
So,is this where I am going to tune around, or is it richer than it should be. Appreciate the wisdom. Also, when you drive 900 miles and have your alternator pulley separate in two, this is the group that will save your bacon. Thanks. |

Ok you have likely done this but check your spark plug gaps and timing. If you don't have it, get Chris Foley's MPS adjustment kit. Also review Paul Anders MPS adjustment information.
Check your fuel pressure, verify your advance is working correctly, and make sure your cooling flaps are correct. |
