<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: todd micheal</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Marlin, forgive me but how do i set accelerator pump a w.o.t. ( hold open and should have .015 gap) What does old stlye spring look like for accelerator pump? with no lock nut. And what is the best way to block off p.v. in secondary? What number ngk's And i do have a dial in timing light. thank you for all the help. TODD </div></div>

Running the 82's on the secondary side with a blocked p/v is indeed on the fat side, but it rocks! The AC plugs will foul (quicker than normal) with this setup, but NGK's will hold out a bit longer. I have 2 sets of NGK's, and just swap out, clean up, swap out, etc... Did I mention that this setup RIPS [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] especially in 3 gear!!

Todd, the Acc setting for wot would indeed be with the linkage at wot, a feeler guage will do it. I believe (others correct me if I'm wrong) that the 'at rest' gap is more important, as it will help prevent a stumble. The old spring - not sure what a new-age one looks like! Just make sure its not something funky, no funky nuts either (no comments from the midwest gallery!). You need to buy a 'blocked' p/v for the secondary, you don't have to do anything to block one, just install it. You need a set of part number XR5 for the plugs, don't bother with the fancy, higher priced NGK's, just use the basic version = XR5.

Oh, btw = get the timing right, by that I mean, set up the carb per the above, and then set the timing - then test drive it, adjust it - then test it. That is the best way to dial in the timing, I usually take a wrench and the light with me and just pull over in a parking lot, tweak it, and then blast off [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]
