Hey Ron are you updating your website? I can't seem to get on it.

Yep, it seems that I have some scripting issues with the old site so I'm pulling the plug and working on a completely new one. Plus the old site had not been updated for a while! Unless I can work out the scripting issue and get the old one back up temporarily the site will be down for probably 1-2 weeks while we build the new one. It's just time for a new look and more current information!

Also congrats on having the post that made us hit page 200!

Is anyone getting close to 10 minute run times with this engine? What setup and fuel?

Guess I should have started from the last page instead of the first.:)

Werks B5, 2013 pipe and fuel got the TQ at the first stop on the Northwest Championship Tour! Failed throttle servo in the main kept me off the podium :(

Congrats on the TQ! Sucks to hear about the throttle servo but that's racing! Cars look great by the way!

Hello Juan, thanks I got it. I'm working through/responding to all of the PM's that I received over the last few days so give me a little bit to get back to you.

is it ok to break my B5 in on Byrons 30% 9% fuel? is that too low of oil content for break in?
Thanks,
Dylan

For real, are you serious?

Well, I think I'm a victim of what I warn others about: needle imbalance. The motor has been working good, but I've been having trouble with it wanting to flame out from the idle air gap being too small. It's not getting hot, not at all, but I believe it is because my top end needle gets way rich and my low end needle is on the lean side. If I keep leaning out the top end, the second burst of throttle can cause it to cut right when I jam on the throttle. Richening up the top fixes this, but it takes away from power and it is a slippery slope to too rich. I'm fairly certain that the low end is just too lean because it returns to idle, then idles up, and once it loads up it goes down to one idle speed (that seems right), then it goes down again to a loaded up state. What I'm stuck with is adjusting idle to where it stays running in the fully loaded state, like if I blip the throttle and it is rich, I don't want it to come off throttle and flame out. But I have to keep pushing the idle down to keep it from high idling. I knew I was on the edge of too lean because further leaning of the LSN and opening of the idle gap produces a very unstable idle.

I think what my major malfunction is that I have been working under the assumption that if it loads up at all under idle it's not lean. This was the case on my v-spec -- you would go from loading up, to not loading up, to high idling as you progressively leaned the lsn... there was no 'too lean but loading up'. If I richen the LSN up, the motor instantly returns to good idle, but it's not very snappy off the line, which is probably really just a result of an overly rich HSN setting I'm betting.

Thoughts?

Yea i think could be a issue, from my small amount of experience the HSN has a more noticeable effect on this mill if it's out of wack. I think i struggled with this at the first race on this engine. Just so hard to grasp what's going on through posts. I hope you get it sorted.

That will be fine, this is the same fuel mixture I run. Just use Ron's way of breaking in the motor. :nod:
