thanks for all your forth coming responses.
At the end of EVERY raceday drive into the pit...
At idle remove the fuelline from the carburator and wait until the engine stops.
Try to start the engine severel times with the glowdriver on the plug until you can't hear any ignitions.
Many guys then remove the airfilter and add some afterrun oil in the carb. I don't..
:
Get yourself a 5 ml disposable syringe and put a piece of fuelline on it. Put AFO in the syringe.
Now, open the throttle and pres ½ ml AFO through the nozzle.
Press car down to the startbox and turn the engine for approx. 5 sec. with both WOT and closed throttle.
Like before add ½ ml AFO and turn the engine once more.
You now have a fully protected engine against rust and accid.
Benefits for adding AFO through the nozzle: You don't have the risk of getting dirt in the carb compared to through the venturi.
You'll get the job done very fast and don't have to reasample the filter.
Cons: If you use a thick AFO you from time to time has to turn the HSN ½ out before next start. The thick oil reduses the flow through the carb, that gives a lean setting for the first coupple of minutes. After that you just have to turn the needle back and finetune the HSN for the right tune.
