So I tried 116 - then 115 MJ.
WOT pinned (no more than 5 seconds) produced 220° - same as the 118.
Fettled through the available jets but unfortunately the next one down was a 112.
With it being the middle of the night in Britain - or wherever Jack is hold up - I asked myself. WWJ221D?
So obviously - I put the 112 in.
Butt dyno immediately said yes.
4 stroking - not gone - but continues to squeeze lower and lower on the throttle.
Kept the 42-160 Idle jet in.
Bike revs higher under load - I can hear it - when pinning throttle.
Below results measured on GSF dyno.
Concerned of course I am melting piston to cylinder wall - but temps remain 220° - back to back WOT runs produce only a few degrees hotter.
Few observations/considerations:
1. This carb is a "DRT modified" one. It has 4 stroked madly at 1/8th throttle since before I enlarged the hole. It was advertised as having both a drilled hole (1.8mm) and "a bigger valve in the float chamber cover and a float needle of 5.2mm". Im not sure how that differs from any other carb. Hebert is running a ~130MJ with his.
2. My CHT is a twist from breaking - makes the pulling of the spark plug a PIA. Not sure of my method - running WOT and just watching temp - but that is how I have been going at it. Can it seize at 220°?!
3.
Wonder if set up could be prone to height of fuel in tank. . If it counts on gravity - is that gravity from the float bowl - or is all this jet down sizing head pressure from the tank?
Edit: There was an observation 4 - goes with#1. When I rebuilt the motor and put this DRT carb on - I got spluge all over the exhaust. Have never had before. Suspected head leak. Reinforces point 1 above I think. This carb even with the 1.8 MM hole runs crazy rich. No matter how rich prior jetting on 20/20 carb - motor never leaked oily mess out of exhaust stub. Is it due to some other reason? Did I over tighten and oblong? Could be - but suspect related to super rich down low.
BTW - even with 112 - 42/160idle - idle mix screw is still decorative accoutrement.
112 is faster and power band is elongating.
What's next?
