I thought you weren't supposed to use belt dressing on serpentine belts, unless something in the formula has changed in the last ten years.

 

??? haha it doesnt slip anymore..

 

do you guys think its bad to backfire after it shuts off?

 

It means either too rich, an exhaust leak or both. Probably not bad for a rotary since there are no valves.

 

ok.
just wanted to make sure nothing is breaking haha.

 

hmm i need to get the secondaries to pump more fuel in and get the idle down.
i checked for vacuum leaks and didnt find anything.
everything is pretty much capped except for the brake booster.

 

bumpppp would like to know this weekend!!!

 

I think you need to get ahold of a holley carberator tunning kit with all the diffrent colored plastic cams to set how much and when the secondaries kick in

 

ahh... so which cam did you have yours set at.
im thinking that ill have mine open up at about 4k. mechanical secondaries is the *****! haha

 

double post =(

 

ok today i threw on a bigger filter and boy did it make a big difference.
but now my secondaries are super lean? and it bogs in the transition and also feels like fuel starvation when the secondary opens up.
how would you adjust the carb to make the secondaries richer?

 

OMFG, you're gonna blow that thing up......start real rich and work your way back

 

hmm im trying to richen it up as much as i can but how can i adjust the carb to the right settings?

 

also it seems like the carb is not performing correctly as it should under boost.

 

.....i wanna get this thing running right!!! i read something about prepping the carb for a supercharger. i dont think my holley 390 has been prepped for the supercharger because the previous owner said he just bought it from summit and bolted it on w/ the 59 jets camden recommended....any thoughts?

im figuring that is my main problem since when i hit my secondaries the carb does not provide the extra fuel causing the highly lean 14-17 afr readings so far (when the secondaries open up).

also where should the timing be at? right now i have a #7 pulley. not so sure on how much boost i am making, but i am planning on getting a proper boost gauge since i cant seem to figure out my plx r-500.

 

holley offers a supercharger carberator that richens the mixture under boost, it has a boost reference port, but I dont think you "need" it maybe just rebuild the carb so you know evrything is perfect... it cant hurt

 

pop goes the rotary.................post detailed pics of the carb, what jets you have in it, what power valves are in it, and what the list number is.

 

hahah thats what im thinking .... i will post some pictures tonight for all you supercharger gurus!

 

blahh schools draining meeee.
btw what oil and coolant should i use?
trying to eliminate all other variables before i start tearing apart the carb etc etc.
