My first 2 races (race days) were great with my Race Prepped EB Mods engine. Unfortunately, that was not the case today. After a few practice laps, I noticed that my car was not quickly responding to my throttle. It was not bogging down, but just not
going as soon as pulled the trigger. Well....that was the case about every 4th or 5th "pull".
After tweaking the tuning, I went back out for another quick lap before the track went hot for my first qualifier of the day. Track went hot as I neared the line and my car, I THOUGHT, stalled. My pit man grabbed it and I couldn't understand why he kept motioning for me to try to give it gas. Was sure he should be able to tell that it was not running...but it WAS running.
The carb had seized in the closed position and I could not race....at least not that race, and not at all with that engine.
I've heard of a few others having carb problems with their JS engines, but I've got less than a gallon through this engine and can't understand why I would have this problem so early on. Of course today's race was a big one, and a "pay race", at that! ...hence the extra frustration, but I guess that's when bad things are worse!!
I'll get over it, as soon as I fix this problem.
Any ideas?? Can I get the carb replaced easily enough?? Is there another carb that would fit while I wait?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
