OS 1.60 Issues

[Mark Hunt]

Jon,

Sorry, I wanted to send you pics, but i've been buried at work the last 2 days...just got home again...

I've been wanting to practice for a meet this weekend as well....

my setup is not clean....yet.  I am using a section of 7/8" aluminum wing tubing for an extension.  It nearly slip fits over the end of the hatori header, then I use a short section (2"?) to connect to the greve pipe.  I saw cut 2 slits into the aluminum tube at the header end and that allowed me to use a hose clamp to crimp the al. tube down on the hatori header.  I WILL be ordering a Karl Mueller header with the entire length as one piece once I am truly happy with the pipe length.

If I can get out during daylight, I will take a couple pics....

Later,
Mark

    I have the same setup.... I extended the pipe length by another 1/2" (minimum) and I mounted the kline right against the needle valve (1/2" of tubing - total) inlet.  It is very important that you keep the reg. close to the needle as well as try to isolate the reg. from hard vibration.  I wrap the reg. in a rubber band.  I am running 15%, APC 17x12, hatori header (and header extension).

    I still have a hiccup if I fly around a mid-throttle, but quite rare.  It's getting hot here in TX so I've set the motor a bit rich and I'm turning approx. 8000 rpm on the ground.  I can send pics of my setup later today if you like....

    Alot of guys around here in Dist 6 are running the same setup, but using a perry pump with good success as well.


    Hope it helps,
    Mark

    P.S. I had to lean the low needle until it would barely even start, then backed off (rich) a 1/4 turn.  Now, I prime it, back flip, and its running.
