what is going on at the tracks???

Made 9 runs in 4 hours and six of those were 1.38's 60's. so the clutch is set pretty good. Did have a fuel issue on the first two runs seems that when I got down to the end of the track to make a u-turn back to the pits the bike would run rought. Look down and the bowls were empty. I let the gas get to low in the tank and when I got on the brakes all the fuel would rush forward of the petcock and strave the lectrons.

So I added some more fuel and it solved the problem. I was running 102 and they were out of it so 110 went in and I know my bike will loose one tenth. Anyhow I did run a 6.16 again with the electrons they were still rich at idle so I back out the needle one turn and boy did that raise the idle rpm. and ran four 6.20's. Make's me think of what 93 octane would do???

So I need to do some more tuning and learning with these carbs, I really like being able to look at the fuel bowls at the end of the track and adjusting the needles was a piece of cake too.

So the first time out I'm happy with them. Oh yeah one thing I'm going to buy the right throttle assy cause I have to almost wrap my hand twice around it to get to WOT :D
 
Well the old girl is running much better with 150 main jets thanks Jake I had about 30 runs over two days with the best being a 7.47 there computer was not working so that is the only info on the time card would of been nice to get the mph and the rest of the break down talked to a few of the regulars and they run .3 to .4 faster at other tracks than they do here so maybe my time es are getting closer two the 7.2 be nice to think that any way well I moving house this week end so I wont be around for a while but I will post again when I have my next run not in the to near future i hope
 
I like the Lectrons. My friends use them on all their bikes and they have great results. All setup by FBG.

I am pretty happy with the HSR Mikuni. I have it dialed close enough to chalk up the pipe and can pull 22 pounds of boost down the track with no problems.

How did the King do????

Norwalk was a good time. Maybe 800 cars and 80 bikes. Some very impressive equipment showed up. There was a Kawasaki there that I watched pick the whole back end up when it shifted into second. I think maybe four rear ends blew, at least one transmission and some other stuff I am sure. I didn't see any bikes not make it down the track.
We broke a slider hat after three runs, but it was one that I had tried to repair. Had a spare spare so no big deal. I did not see who won the event but I talked to the guy who I think may have. I tugged on his ear for while and got a lot of good information to help be out. This guy ran basically a stock GS engine in the 7.90s. No NOS. With NOS he had it into the 7.50s. Electric start. I guess he was planning to sell the bike and build something new.
 
Last crack at the track this weekend. I got the new ignition on and plan to try it out before winter sets in. Got the 1150 head back today from FBG also. They do some nice work. Still searching for a valve cover for it. So the higher pressures will have to wait for next year. Did manage to get the 1100 head a bit over 20 PSI without coming apart.

I'm selling off a few of my drag parts on eBay if anyone is needing them. Good stuff. The MSD is a bit old, but VERY effective. It even comes with some actual dirt, rubber and oil from my bike, with no additional cost!!

Very cool!!!!!!!! With winter coming on, I need some of this video.

Yesterday was a bust. New parts worked great. I need to rip the video the wife took. The tire is barking the whole track length. Could not get it above 135. I think they said the track temp was mid 50s when I got there and it cooled down as the day went on.
 
Were you bidding on that 1150 head as well??? I picked up an 1150 block too. Do a 1260 piston with just an overbore in the 1150 block.
 
Yes, you snipped me in the end!! I had the $300. Let me know if you want to sell the cover.
 
HeY Ryan what degrees are you running your cams.

I installed a new G4 intake cam and P/V clearance with the 1150 head are too close with the cam notches pointed at each other. Looks like I'm going to go bigger than 110 degrees to get the 50thou clearance on the intake. The valve's are not sunken at all.

I guess that's why I was getting over 200 psi on cranking. With the intake retarded it's down to 160 psi but there is some room for more.

I tinkered with it alot this summer. I ended up running 108 - 109. I run less than 50 thou clearance on the intake side. More like 40 thou as I recall. I had an engine builder tell me I could get away with it. So far so good.
 
I heard you could go down to 35thous, but that's just to close for me. Right now I'm above 60thous on the intake. I'll see how she runs this Friday and go from there.
 
Well I found out the timing notch at the end of my new G4 intake cam is not correct. I had to retard the intake alot to get 110 degrees and then I set the exhaust at 111. I guess before it was around 100? cause there was no P/V clearance if you static timed it.

Will see tomorrow if it's runs alittle better.
