KKtrips Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Jesus Hemi - you actually are the greatest artist I have ever met - how you don't draw for Disney..... LOL Anyways -I have fitted the wideband today (Thanks Sentra - muah xoxox lubs)- ran it at my prior uneconomical settings - AFR ranged from 10:1 - 15:1 (idle was 10:1) but mostly hovered around the 11:1 mark - from previous information I know it used 42.5litres in 270-280Km at these settings Changed the needle to jet height by 2.5 turns per carb - ended up at an approx average of 14:1 (idle was 12.5:1) Wound it back .5 a turn and ended up with an average of 13:1 - range was mainly between 11.5:1 and 15.5:1 (idle 11:1 I will leave it as these last settings for now and will fill fuel tank tommorow morning and run a tank through before trip to palmy on Friday night - will report back once again after the weekend.. fingers crossed it won't cripple me still..

sentra Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 i jusrt had a flashback when i picked up ur wangon for roadtriop we just said goodbye to you and were dropping manu back to his floatcrib and the brakes locked on at the end of ur bus works road and we were stuck for a while wondering what to do then it started moving again mabey disconnect your brakes and check your economy again to rule that out?

KKtrips Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Good thought - but overhauled all the brakes and fixed that problem long ago.. cheers for the input - will see you Jolly Rogers tommorow night for some mixing of drinks and slapping of backs..

Unclejake Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Based on the fact that some small areas of the south coast of Peru were visible when you drove past my house 25 minutes ago I would suggest that the alternator must be sucking around 42kw to power your headlights.

KKtrips Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 yeah and one of the headlights ain't working either.. damn it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 havent read through the whole thread, so it might have been suggested already... but could it be something unrelated, like a brake dragging?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efp0wa Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hows your PCV valve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Doesn't have a PCV valve as such - though it does have a vent in the rocker cover that just evnts to atmosphere.. (normally goes to the airfilter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
