Failed dashpots?

Rotary Inspired · 08-06-2009, 11:32 PM

Is the motor ported? I find that a pretty large primary port likes closer to 1000 rpms.

Yes it is ported with the Pineapple templates.

I think my plan for now will be to put the new dashpot in when it arrives from Malloys on Monday or Tuesday. If that doesnt work I'll count how many turns out the BAC idle screw is at and then if there is some downward adjustability I'll open the throttle plate up a bit then adjust the idle back down with the BAC. I'd rather not have a 1000rpm idle. The porting isnt radical, it idles perfectly at 750 and the car is loud enough as it is.

Thanks!
