Engine richens after refueling
I keep having the same problem for a while now. Engine runs fine but i keep getting a rich setting just after refueling and needs about 30m into the track to clean up. The same thing happens to my brothers engine.
I drive a Sirio Kanai EVO 4 and my brother RB WS9. Anyone knows what causes this ''problem''? Sometimes it might flame out...unless i keep blipping the throttle for the first 10m and then take it easy for the next 20-30m and try clearing it up at the jumps. |

its probably just your LSN being set too rich. when you pit and engine is at idle, it loads up fuel due to rich setting. |
Nope...can't be that. When refueling engine should lean a bit due to open lid. Besides engine takes off strong after idling for 10 sec. Engines are set right...maybe a bit rich on top end for the 30 minute final and 100F plus weather.
|
could be 2 things:
1) to rich on the LSN, if you let it idle with refuling the engine runs full 2) a leak in the fuelcap of the tank. |
That slightly rich on the top you mentioned can do it too. Don't let the tank being open fool you, they can still load up. Also, too cold a plug can do it, especially if the motor is running fairly cool head temps.

Most complain about flame-outs while getting
back out on the track. Running a little rich for the first ninety feet after a fuel top-off is better than a flame-out problem. I know it's annoying but I'd trade that for one that coughs,farts and stalls any day. |
Try a exhaust cooler. If it were my car I would just lean it a little.

How long does it run rich after fueling?

it could be your pressure tube between the pipe to fuel tank be too slow. that is why after u refuel, the pressure be come too high thus pumping more fuel into the carbe....:tire:
wat is your current length your tube now??? is it at least 15cm long ??? |
yes that's 15cm, but i've read somewhere something about 25-30cm.
