Hard to start
spitzerscott:
Engine starts decent when I can prime it by hand. With my scoop on I need the primer, I have a MSD 7al/plus, pro-billet dist., and a pro-power coil. Starter is a Jegs pro-starter, and it cranks over fine, I don't think I have a fire problem or slow cranking. Pump flowed by Spud. I just think that what I was using from the bottle was a lot more than this primer puts out, am I just not giving it a large enough shot? I am trying not to wash the cylinders down. Or am I just being a pussy?
Paul New:
Disconnect the on/board primer and squirt it into a container, next use the amount of fluid and see if it will start. I imagine your not giving it enough fuel
dreracecar:
I vote PUSSY!!!
Did not mention if this was a tunnel ram or stack injector?
You need a volume of gas to create enough vapor to get thing to lite
spitzerscott:
You may be right. I checked the spring pressures, main=2psi, secondary=20psi. Single butterfly injection on a Hurricane single 4-barrel intake. Runs great once it is started. I will do a test with my bottle and check that out. Thanks
spitzerscott:
Also barrel valve is set at 25% leakdown. I will try my test to fill my primer bottle this weekend and let you know how it turns out.
