hey guys-
lookin for someone to help me tune a road demon 525 carb in my 1st gen, im trying and getting nowhere...imanidiot and after i drove it over to my house, from a buddys house, where i got everything running, i tried to adjust my float levels, instead of starting with the idle adjustment, because it wouldnt idle...i know=dumb. but now i dont have any fuel in my primary float bowl...? and my secondary is slap full, and i just cant get it to even out, much less start now (no fuel obviously) but i was looking for someone to maybe come out to the house, as i would rather not tow it anywhere, but if it came down to it i could tow, either way i would pay you well for your time! im in marietta....please help!

I've never worked on a carburated rotary, but I can get a holley to make a V8 hum. If push comes to shove, I can come down and get you going. Before I do, you have to assure me that your engine is built right and you've got a other jet sizes laying around.

 

sweet, i dont wanna make you make the trek up here if it can be avoided, but the motor is set up fine, i mean nothing internally has been done, its got a rb intake mani and headers, then the carb, a road demon jr its a 525cfm carb, what would jetting it up or down do?

 

what im trying to say is im a fuel injected kid and i dont know what jetting it up or down does...does it just change the amount of fuel being mixed?

 

Jets control the flow of fuel from the bowls to the metering plate (or in your case, the main housing). Take your bowls off and you can see the jets screwed into the metering plate. They will have #s stamped into them; very small #s. That will tell you the jet size. Take those #s to a speed shop (sometimes Autozone or Advanced will have them) and buy one jet size bigger and one size smaller.

Does your carb have the sites on the bowls so you can see the fuel level in the bowl?

I've also got a manifold vacuum guage that will tell me what size power valve you need. I'm sure the stock one will work fine, but it will make sure its right for your application.

 

Yes, the vacuum of the manifold sucks fuel through the jets during idle and cruising. Changing the jet size will richen or lean out the mixture. The powervalve and accellerator pump keep the mixture right during accelleration and WOT.

 

yea its got clear float bowl sights, and c clamps so you can see halfway on the sight

 

Alright, just let me know if you need help. Buy me a tank of gas and I'll come down whenever. I make my own schedule for work, so anytime is fine.

 

haha youre a hero. how bout tuesday?

 

sure, as long as we can schedule it to where i don't have to deal with Atlanta's rush hour traffic. Something like, show up at 3 and leave at 7 or show u at 7 and leave at 10 or something. Actually, the latter would be better. I just got the AC plumbing hooked up on my car but not the electric and it hasn't been charged. So, night driving would be great.

 

dude whatever works for you, im down for 7 to 10 if that works for you my cell number is 678-558-4630...and the home number is 770-977-5984, but seriously whenever you feel like making the trek ill be here, coming in at 7 might put you in a spot of traffic though, coming west/north on the 285/75 (respectively) end of things might be a little touch and go til round about then, but yea im exit 267 off 75,ill pm you my address...

 

hope u guys get it worked out. weekend would have been best for me tho.
