vw_Brian Posted August 17, 2006 Report Posted August 17, 2006 Im getting ready to fire up the new motor just wondering if i was close with a 160,55, and a 120 in the powerjet running at sea level, 50-90 degree weather will this get me up and running? will the pj's get enough fuel from a pingle alone? Pump? they have stock bowls. Would i be smart to remove the pills from the powerjets and replace with turning jets? thanks to everyone Brian Quote

Fuel line should be at least 1/4" and it ought to be ok. Quote

jbooker82 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 no they are the original powerjets with the carbs, they just have the jet style insert, not the finger adjustable type. I have keihin pj34mm carbs and they dont have the power jet. I think yours are retro fitted ones. My banshee runs on gas and i have 155 main jets. I thought that you need way more fuel when running alachol compaird to gasoline. Quote

Are your carb slides square or shaped like a "D"? Quote
vw_Brian Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Posted August 18, 2006 Well the pwk airstrikers have a power jet. Are your carb slides square or shaped like a "D"? mine are flat on each side with the corners rounded... they very well might be aftermarket powerjets, but im not sure. Quote
Snopczynski Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 mine are flat on each side with the corners rounded... they very well might be aftermarket powerjets, but im not sure. they are pj's then with powerjet retrofits on them. the pwk air striker is the only one that came with power jets.

vw_Brian Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Posted August 19, 2006 they are pj's then with powerjet retrofits on them. the pwk air striker is the only one that came with power jets. well with the setup it fired up no prob first kick, but now soaks plugs and wont start. The mains have been drilled way out for the alky, but i cant help but wonder...lif it wont start on gas, how will it run with gas when i purge it after running alky all day? will it? Quote

Sounds like too big of a jet now then. Quote
Slow Banshee Posted August 21, 2006 Report Posted August 21, 2006 vw brian, Our 7mm Cub jetting for alky (35mm), #52 pilots, drilled 108 mains and 100 jet type power jets. We run asphalt 1/4 with a fuel pump and the pump tends to richen the mixture. Quote

It seems like you said that you used drilled out 108 mains? or drilled them to 108? which carbs are they? thanks again Brian Quote
