Thread: Running rich

Tweet

Dave - you're correct, and I thought I had the smaller carb, but after taking the winter off from tinkering, I started documenting things. It is truely an 850 CFM. What was stuck in my mind was what the fella had told me when I purchased it - I just never really verified it. I was "walkin' on air" that day - so a lot of things went in one ear and out the other.

Definitely finding out a lot of things with this new venture. I actually purchased it late last fall, and due to a busy work schedule (and the damaged garage door - long story there - didn't help matters) I didn't get to do much tinkering. I'll be a little smarter on my next purchase - but I pulled the trigger quickly - and I still think I bought it for a reasonable price. There is a solid base to work on - and I didn't really just want to get something that was all decked out. What's the fun in that?

Sound like the message is - get a smaller carb. Now that comes after I get a new raditor and dress up the engine comparment. I may try to do a swap or bartering with someone. I also may just run it rich for a month or so.

Thanks,

Dave
