So if I understand correctly the principle at work in this context is simply to be safe at WOT and work your way down to cruise. BASIS - There are two sets of "jets" which provide fuel to mix with air to the intake - They are primaries (for idle and low throttle) and secondaries (opening up towards WOT), which are combined with the primaries ADAM'S CASE - He is very rich at idle BUT dangerously lean at WOT. TUNING SCENARIOS - RON'S POINT (as I understand it) By enlarging the secondaries first to bring WOT into safe AFR you create a margin of safety. If you reduce the size of the primaries first, even a test towards WOT run could be seriously damaging to the engine. TUNING SCENARIO - BIRD'S POINT (as I'm totally speculating) While fine tuning might be subtle, this isn't magic. The observed data that he is rich at idle/low throttle and dangerously lean at WOT suggests smaller jets in the primaries and larger jets in the secondaries. One should be able to make a pretty educated guess based on flow rates of the jets. Then proceed from idle up to WOT progressively in passes. This seems rational to me and I think is what bird might be suggesting. MY QUESTIONS If the starting spread in sizes between primaries and secondaries radically differs from experience and theory, it seems to me some other parameter in the "system" is off? :huh: Even if you dial this in for 5lbs boost, aren't you going to completely repeat when you change up to 15lbs (or whatever you're at)? Therefore, if there is a safe progressive method, wouldn't you want to base it on your target max boost? |

Bad Data
This isn't a carb thing. Adam, if you've been blasting around much with a bad tune that varies from super rich and especially to dangerously lean for any extended period of time, you may have seriously compromised your O2 sensor. This is really possible if you've ever had serious detonation or back-firing. Further tuning may be in the dark.

The primaries are supposed to be about 10 sizes lower than the secondaries, because the PV on the primary side compensates about that much. With no PV, you should run equal size jets. Going to screw with the PCVRs to get the boosted AFR a lil richer, then I'll tune down the primaries, and depending on the response I get after f'n with my PCVRs I might even jet down the secondaries. As far as the O2 sensor, I just installed it the other day. It's brand new, and per mfr spec, I will only leave it in when tuning. |

It's a spectrum of rich -> lean according to throttle position??? Quote:
