Fuel injection too rich

(1/3) > >>

jbraaflat:
Hey everyone.  I'm a new member.  I have a 174" FED with a 438cid SBF, Hilborn injected on Methanol.  My issue is, I fired the engine yesterday for the first time this season.  My tune-up is way too rich.  There is alcohol coming out the pipes.  I have a .115 main pill with 2.5 throttle bodies.  I blew everything out in the off season.  Could I have done something to the metering valve.  Again, alcohol is coming out of the pipes at idle, no heat in the engine, way too rich.  Soaking down the plugs.

Try posting in Spuds F.I. section, he'll get you on the right course. Any chance the pill or return line is plugged? Corrosion plugging the pill?

only one pill? Two has happened.

I bought the injection system from FIE.  Spuds the Man.  I was going to call him Monday.  I checked the main pill and the pop-it valve/spring was ok.  No changes in the system since last season.  I'm thinking I might have done something to the metering valve when blowing it out this winter.  Hoping someone has ran in to this.

Make shure you have the jet can facing the right direction . If it is backwards you will get no fuel flow through it and the motor will be real rich .
