cam selection
tayto:
sounds good cliff, i will stick with the Howards cam 213/217 112 LSA and keep the hot cam for the boat.
tayto:
Cliff, I am getting around to rebuilding my carb. Before I went to the Howards cam posted above, you sent a rebuild kit with 73 Jets, 50C rods and an orange spring. Will this be ok with a cam with about 10* more duration?
Cliff Ruggles:
They will be fine. The big deal with cam selection is idle tuning. Once off idle all of these engines make good vacuum at light load and require very similar fuel delivery. The vacuum production at idle varies considerably, and with larger cams we need larger idle tubes, DCR's, and bypass air......
tayto:
does anyone know what is float height & other specs for this carb? #17086249
the literature cliff gave me only goes up to 1980, this carb is 1986 (non-CCC)
Kenth:
Factory float height on this unit is 13/32" +- 2/32".
