SOUTHTHIRTY Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) 20:1 is not rich fyi.... think about it.. its more oil in the fuel... so its less fuel..your carb can only deliver so much fuel. Are u on alky or race gas? A leak at the head. .hmm ... Double check your cylinder head surface, both dome surfaces. .. lay the domes on a thick piece of glass. ... and look under them.

jriffe23 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 Head is leaking from the studs. So what is rich then? Running race gas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
jriffe23 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 Seeping from the studs up, like the oring that goes on the stud between top piece and bottom piece on a pro design. I have a noss machine in the mail. Also there is no coolant in the combustion chambers. I checked that. I only ran it for about 5 minutes max. Chassis is completely done so I can't ride it yet. Other than that it fired right up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

jriffe23 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 I thought that was extremely rich Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
SOUTHTHIRTY Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 Are u asking "if its leaking from the stud" does that mean is rich on fuel? Quote
jriffe23 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 yes passed leakdown. Compression is 180psi on both sides. No im not asking if its too rich because coolant is coming from the studs. Im just saying there is coolant leaking at the studs. Wont be a problem when my Noss head gets here. Fuel is rich. Quote
oldskool Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 In a not so direct way, the guys are telling you that changing oil/gas ratio is not how you want too make it rich, but rather with larger jets. a/f screw. Build is looking good Quote
jriffe23 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks for the compliment. It just wasn't clear. My jets are rich, my plugs are black and wet. Lol definitely rich. Also it hasn't ran longer than 5 minutes yet so I think it's good so far. Quote
jriffe23 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Posted October 5, 2014 Thinking a color combo of that burnt orange color and white, or silver haven't really decided between white and silver. Quote
