Front Engine Dragsters / Re: Fuel injection too rich

Looking at my barrel valve, I noticed the "54" on the spool valve is in the wrong location when at WOT.  My leak-down was at 30% and was able to rev the engine.  I'm going to make sure the spool valve is in the correct location according to the hilborn schematic.  Thanks again.

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.

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.
