hotrodbanshee Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) My shee hicups(misses out) when I am idling around in gear and then hit WOT. If I am running 1/4-1/2 throttle there is no miss at all when I hit WOT. I think it is a little lean off idle. Should I go ahead and increase the size of the pilot jets. I am running the stock pilots now, and I have some 30 pilots. If I ease into to it it doesn't cut out. It runs as if you did not turn the gas petcock on and start riding and hit the throttle and it starts missing out because lack of fuel. My mods are: stock carbs toomy t5's k/n pro flo no lid 350 mains stock pilots toomy needles 2nd notch from top air screw 1 3/4 turns out 36:1 fuel ratio Edited January 31, 2006 by hotrodbanshee Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 you could try turning your air screws in to see if that helps. I think the 30 pilots will be to big, I'd try 27.5s. also maybe lower your clip a notch or 2. I've read the stock needles perform better than the toomeys, but don't know it as fact. Quote

But you're right their effectiveness has been questioned many times, I think it comes down to personal preference. hotrodshee, If the hesitation is in the throttle range you describe I would say try turning your air screws in first. I'm running similar mods, but I am only running .5 turn on my air screws with stock pilots. I was running 27.5's for a while, but switched back after my VForce swap, and noticed a considerable increase in the snap response. On another note, I would think that those 350's would be too big if you're on a stock port (you didn't mention porting so assume you are). I'm running 340's with a 2:1 filter (no airbox) at 50 degrees F. Are you considerably colder? Also, I'm on the 5th clip on the Toomey (Dynojet) needle, but I swap between 4th and 5th (so minute a difference it's almost indiscernable). Hope that helps... Quote
Banchetta Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Raise your needles to the 4th clip.................................. Quote
hotrodbanshee Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Posted February 3, 2006 Well I did not have any 27.5 pilots to try, but I did raise my needles to the 4th clip and shee ran great no missing out. Thanks guys... Raise your needles to the 4th clip.................................. 468282[/snapback] Quote
