Alky guys, Where do you put your lean out valve? - 09/29/09 09:36 PM
Was wondering where you guys hook up your lean out valve to. Do you hook it up to the back of the carb?

best place to drill is in a carb spacer. If you don't have one you need to drill into the intake near the top where it meets the carb, 3/8 pipe or whatever your hose adapter is.

What about the rest of it? Is it a kit or pieced together from componants bought seperatly? If it's peiced together from seperate companants, what are the best types to use? Where is the vale placed, under the hood or in the car so it can be operated while in the seat?

x2 i drilled mine to 1/8 pipe. screwed in a 5/16 barb fitting.
just run your hose to a ball valve within reach.

I use the port on the back of the carb. Rupert sells a nice lean-out setup.

Bill swing by at the track and I will show you my setup.

It'll have to be next year. I'm done for the season.

Hey Alky guys, do you use your lean out valve for everything but the burn out and run?
do you start the motor with the lean out open?
My Terminator uses a shut off valve to lean it out, but i am unsure if i should use it while starting?
How high do you take the idle up when you are trying to put some heat in the motor??
Thanks,
Arnie

you use it 90% of the time, every car is different. Normally I keep it closed on initial startup for about 30secs then open it up to make some heat and drive around in the pits. It will not raise the rpm like closing a barrel valve does. You can buy all the stuff you need from Mcmaster car, they sell a slick slide valve used for oxygen tanks, fittings and hose. Install the valve somewhere in the cockpit that you can reach while strapped in.
IMHO, 1/8" fitting is too small at least 1/4 or 3/8 to allow enough air in. Then you will save some fuel...

Arnie, with injection you should use the shutoff valve to lean it after it has started. To build heat I inch it out until I just hear some popping in the exhaust, that is close to stalling it, and usually gets me 2500 rpm. I use a cable from a semi truck that I can rotate the knob for a very fine adjustment, its really handy:

Thanks guys!
Craig, so I would have the shut off valve fully open while starting, then slowly close it until the revs get up to 2,000 or more.
Where do you set your idle with the shut off valve fully open? I mean for after your burn out when you are staging?
If you are driving to the staging lanes do you leave the idle at 2,500 ?
Thanks for the education...

once you've set the barrel valve with a leakdown guage you adjust the idle rpm with the butterfly opening. When I ran injection I would drive around with barrel valve approximately halfway closed. YOu do NOT want to drive around at 2500rpm!! you will get caught speeding!lol
The reason for the 2500rpm is to raise your idle egt's to 8-900* and get your oil good and hot. This will burn of the moisture/condensation caused by the meth. I highly recommend a good vacuum pump as well and dump the puke tank after warmup. You will be surprised how much water comes out...
ps, not sure about the Rons stuff but with my Enderle also used the fuel shutoff to kill the motor.
