Smart carb


crash&burn

Recommended Posts

Guess i was still fummin a little there.lol

but, This time Corey got right back with me.. Said the needle from the first carb may have been one he did for more fuel for running a single. And that the q11 is the one I need.

 

So,, he's gonna send me a bowl an metering rod. Hopefully all will be well then. Lol.

There will definitely be an improvement with these. But, at this point with all the time, money, jerking around, and just plain fucking off at apt, do you think the gains are worth it? Even so, the amount of tuning effort spent being a guinea pig on a self tuning carb is just fucking obscene.-

it wont self tune until the initial tune is right...  and my thinking if your tuning challenged it might be a steep learning curve..   even lectrons if the needle is wrong, no matter how much you move it up and down, will never run right.  being able to know where its lean/ rich as far as throttle position, load, and motor heat reactions goes a long way in figuring out what to do. 

 

BUT i dont think that apt is going about this right way ?..   lectron has a program that if you want you can order 4-5 different needles, try them all  then return the ones you dont run and just pay for the ones you use..  but packard can get you really close if you call and talk to them as far as banshee's go.  apt should be able to get to that point  but im not sure whats going on that they dont offer that already?  if they claim to have the banshee motor figured out already..

No,, its just too smart for apt to send the right shit..Lol,,

 

I mean, shit, he made a custom needle the first time.An never told me, then gave me 2 richer rods. but richer rods to what? The q11.,? If that's the case then the "richer" rods could have actually been leaner, and could have caused the issues. Seems like they need to be better organized in what they are doing on an individual basis.

 

I have family in Kansas City ,, so if all else fails, I should be able to drop it off with them to get things straight. Lol
