I fired up my 914, and let it idle in the drive way for a while, and noticed that small dots of black stuff (looks like oil splatter) seem to come out and stain the concrete. These aren't liquid at all, but are a black powdery soot.
Is it normal to have these black soot marks? Do you think this is because my car has sat for some time? |

Which WBO2? LM-1? If it is an LM-1, be careful during startup. Although it is not advertised in the instructions, if you hit the innovate forum you will find that it is recommended to not power up the LM-1 until the engine is warmed up. If the LM-1 has self heated and gets hit with some raw unburned fuel (cold shock), it can get killed. Of course, you also can't drive for particularily long with it off either before you kill it as well.
As for the dells, make sure you have ~3.5 psi and your float heights are set correctly. When setting your float heights, make sure that the little spring loaded pin is not compressed at all during the float travel (this will prematurely close the needle valve). I suggest getting some jet plug gauges, jet reamers, and at least a unisyn if not the better version (can remember the legit name) if you are going to try to get these dells dialed in perfect. The WBO2 will definitely help. Also, pull all the jets to verify what the jet sizes are (plug gauges are important here, jets can easily be reamed out and not marked correctly), if they are the same across the board, etc. Also check the e-tubes, you want 9164.2s. Verfiy that the acc. pump is putting out the correct volume as well (.2 ccs I think). -Chris |
