dylan Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 yea i found out the stock settings which are 10-22 and i originally had them at 12-22 anyway got some advice from a guy whos rebuilt a couple of these and he said with my lumpy cam i should set them at 10-16 and this has made it run a fuck load better.......still i seem to have a bit of a problem with what feels like flooding if you take off and put yor foot down it stays at the same sorta speed for a while before it actually goes and also theres absolutely no way you can take off on a hill as it plops and farts away.........iv set the timing slightly advanced,and iv also tried 3 different carbs the standard sport twin throat and two 2L ones it actually goes a slight bit better with th 2L one on it.....................any ideas guys?

kyteler Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Either an advance or a mixture problem, might want to try the 2L carb but lean it down slightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipsittin Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Silly thing but I would suggest to get the correct settings for the cam profile. Speaking from experience and a lot of damage at my own expense its the safest bet. If your having trouble get hold of Adrian at Franklin Cam Services, he is a wealth of knowlage on crossflows and small 4 cylinders in general.
