Re: Fueling too rich, 2.5 Pi

What is the best place for me to get the metering unit sorted? I see rimmers and Witor have them listed and want to know what's best, price wise and quality of set up as I don't want to be revisting the cost aspect any time soon.

Re: Fueling too rich, 2.5 Pi

A bit of an update.

I removed the air cleaner to look at the butterfly synchronization and discovered they weren't quite right. The rear most two weren't opening until about 1500 rpm (which would explain the hesitant running below that engine speed) and the middle two weren't quite closing at idle ...

Re: Fueling too rich, 2.5 Pi

Spoke on the phone to him.
As I expected there wasn't a lot he could do without any test equipment for vacuum and fuel pressure etc. But he's gonna have a ring around and see what he can come up with.

Re: Fueling too rich, 2.5 Pi

I thought so and looking at the list of cars you've got there you'd probably be the one to know!

At the moment it uses a lot more. So I want to get it sorted asap so I can enjoy running the engine in

Re: Fueling too rich, 2.5 Pi

I've tried a few things but it all still points to fueling issue. Should it use more fuel than a carbed 2.5?

Is there anywhere in NZ that specialises in Pi gear? Surely the Tr guys are looked after.

Any help is appreciated

Re: Fueling too rich, 2.5 Pi

Me and a friend attempted to check those the best we could and it doesn't really seem to have helped.

It runs on 6 but it sort of feels like the choke is out until above 2000 or so rpm where it gets better but it still sounds too rich. It just sounds very cammed at idle and up to 2000 + rpm. What ...
