Tech Adept
Dan, I just came off of that same problem. You may want to richen up the lsn by 6 hours at a time till that problem goes away. You will eventually have to compensate with a lean per hour on your hsn and mess with the idle needle. It took 12 hours on the lsn for mine to go away and I had to lean the top by 2 hours and mess with the idle.

So what i think it comes back to now is either pipe or furel tank. Has anyone had any similar problem with a tank?

Thanks for the replys guys as far as tune goes i have tried everything even to the piont where the lsn head is out past the ball for the coupling. What i originally thought it was was air leaks on the motor so everything has either been changed or sealed up even the head button as i thought the glow plug wasnt sealing properly. I have replaced all fuel lines and tried 3 different crabs.
Sohlman, no i dont have a pressure chamber but was thinking about getting one, but i dont know the what they are supposed to do, can you fill me in?

However, I lose so much time/distance at the end of a straight going into the turn. The guys with regular diffs just out brake me. How do you guys counter the effects of the front one-way? Or is it I'm just too worried about going into the corner too hot and I should just have confidence that the car will just stick? BTW, I've got the car setup according to the setup sheet but with 30,000 wt diff oil.
Btw, racing this Sunday. Stop by, maybe can help. Still trying to dial in my 4

Yeah, I might actually race this sunday. The only thing I gotta do now is decide what shore tires I wanna run.

I think I might try that. Since I never raced with a one-way, I might as well try atleast one race with it. If I don't like it, I'll switch to the diff.

YBSLOW will probably disagree with me, but running a 25t pulley with 2mm split with give a noticable on power push. That setup will give front underdrive meaning on power your front tires will be turning slower than the rears.
Bottom line, is you can test for yourself but I would not use the 25t pulley with a 2mm split. Use the 24 as was suggested.

the car turns in better and i dont find it pushes atall i do some times run it with 1mm and with the 24 it wreaks the front drive, this is on a short track on a big track 24 works ok but i still dont like it.
