massive reconfiguration time again.

[j par]

LOL... I was just pok'n at ya, your trying to tune the carbs and you keep getting timing help

What do you think about the drilled air doors?.. I called the Holley tech line and they're gonna send me 4 to play with very reasonable price.. they came up a notch in my eyes...

I wouldn't. My way of thinking it will slow up the syphoning effect, and probably the speed of the door opening. I could be wrong, but that's what it would seem to me

What is the benefit for drilling the secondary air door ?

Did you read the article??

 

[fishmens67]

Did you read the article??

Yep, I'm not seeing how it will help you . Why do you need more air with the secondary butterfly shut.

 

[fishmens67]

What is the idle speed ? Have you tried increasing the idle speed ?

About 900..

Probably a good question for the people reading the article back in 2012.... There's really nothing but review videos and installation videos and simple turning the idle up or down or a small adjustment on the idle mixture screws. Even when you called Holley techline they'd barely ever get calls on these. And if they do they said it's usually just to verify what carburetor it is as if somebody bought one from somebody else..

 

[j par]

Another thing they don't have like a metering rod and spring and jet chart like Edelbrock does. There's no real graph or anything like that like the Edelbrock do..
So more than less I'm just reaching for straws...

 

[fishmens67]

I wonder if turning the idle speed up to a 1000 might help. Have you tried ?

Way to stir the pot and derail a thread!! Next thing you'll do is bring up the...you know...the big heavy thing with a big track on it and kill the whole thread LOL.

Or mention spaghetti. That'll do it too.

I usually have it at about a thousand, but right now it seems to be happy around 900. I'm not sure how much a hundred is going to do to the overall cruise and sudden flooring it?.

Did you read that article and see those air doors drilled? Any thoughts on that...

Those holes look very strategically placed right over the secondary Ventura centers. They could probably siphon fuel out as well right away from that spot as soon as the door on the bottom opens.. ??..

I doubt any of us will have the answer if the holes will help you. I think it's "trial and error", and no reason not to adventure out and try means you have extras. In my way of thinking, they won't help your situation, but I've been known to think backwards now and then

 

[Phreakish]

Manual for these carbs says that if air gets around that door, it will richen the low Rev and low throttle mixture, which sounds to me like more variables to fight.

Might be worth trying, as it may help to have some fuel already flowing there, but it sounds to me like it will be challenging to get the mix even down low and in the middle without even more tinkering.

So my thought is to call that lwa performance and ask for that Lamar guy and ask him why he drilled holes in there and maybe he'll let out a secret or two, I hope... I'm sure not too many people are doing that combination.

 

[j par]

I don't have a 21/64 drill bit but I do have a 5/16 which is extremely close. I'll probably drill a couple of doors and pop them on and see what happens. again I'll have a couple of chances to try something if I want to...

 

[yellow rose]

So this article had a tidbit of information...

Look how they drilled the secondary doors...

The holes should help get the door opening quicker. That's the first real good pictures I've seen of the guys of those.

I think opening the door sooner will enhance the bog problem.
The answer is in the pump shot and primary circuit.

Well we'll find out soon. I have the biggest squirters on the highest setting now.
