i use the 6.5 insert and power masters fuel in a serpent. is this fuel any good?
do a little test....fire your engine up on the starter box, get it to a steady idle, then spray nitro spray right behind the flywheel...just a little spritz....see if the engine stalls or not.........

Could be a leaky front bearing.....When you last ran at the Hill your engine was running rich.

My Plus-4btts pretty much runs all the time at 260 and I feel like their is for sure more tune left in it. I was well more than 4.5t out on the LSN and still running 245 - 260. I do not doubt 290 to get optimum power for sure!!!!!

My endpoints are set and the carb doesnt fully open 6.5m venturi running 25% fuel.

Now my query, I have the idle gap set a 0.6m so thats good.

At the weekend is was hot and my engine wouldn't settle nicely on a idle no matter what i did went rich LSN then Leaner LSN no change richened out the top and repeated etc...

It ran but wasn't purring, also after 7.5mins i was on vapour! Now the engine is around 22 tanks old now. Always preheat before starting too.

I tried the base settings that i got off here and that was way too lean was running on just on the box so just some points to clarify -

Base settings for the engine?

what sort of tune are people putting on these I'm not an expert at tuning but I've got a rough idea which is why sunday was so strange?

my HSN is 3.75 out

LSN is 5 1/2 out..

I dont know where my HSN is from FLUSH, but because I heard someone talking about the "PERFECT" LSN, I check mine just the other day and it was 4.1 - 4.2 out from flush, and what I heard was optimal 4 - 4.25

it will tell ya if your front bearing is sucking in air/dirt and/or blowing out crankcase pressure

should stay stable if all is good or idle up a touch if it leaks or die out if its really f'ed up

Out from flush. Really ? Please explain. All my nova's run perfect and none are out from flush on bottom. Unless he meant out from being bottomed in.

Do you guys running the 4BTTS set your EPA to fully open the carb? I know this is going to be track dependant. I'm just trying to learn more tricks for extending run time.
