As if there arn't enough tuning threads already... =devil
I have a new T-Max 3.3, has roughly 3/4 gallon of fuel through it so far. The main problem I have with it is that it stalls after idling down from part throttle. Seems to do it much more after it's good and warm. Getting a temp guage today before doing anything more w/ it... I know this is vital information. (How accurate are those laser pointing infrared temp gauges??)
Without knowing the real temp, it seems to me this would indicate it's too rich at part throttle, that it's flooding out? It also seems to bog down every now and then going from part throttle to WOT. But as soon as I go WOT (clean it's throat) it idles fine. WOT seems just right, I run slightly leaner than the stock 4 turns. (About 3 3/4 turns out.)
Trouble is that as I lean out the LSN, the idle screw is already backed out as far as it affects the slide... so I've been just letting the clutch chatter so it stays running after part throttle. (And it's an Integy clutch, so I'm not expecting it to last long anyways... lol)
Another thing is the idle isn't very consistant. It tends to reve a bit higher after a good full throttle run, and then if I "blip" the throttle it will idle down a bit more... some times (depending on idle screw and LSN) dies after this "blip."
It's quite annoying having it die every time I do a part throttle turn, and bring it to a stop. Especially when I'm on the other end of the soccar field. :LoL:
