That hesitation should be gone by now don't you think? Which carb is on there now?

New best's are always nice.
I hate you are still having a carb problem.
Just wondering How are you leaving, Of the two step,transbrake, or foot brake?

Tony,
Have you tried bumping the timing up a couple degrees?Maybe it's not the carb.I had a similar problem ealy this year before I figured out my timing marks were off.I had done some cam swaps and played with different degrees of advance on the cam in my big block.Could not get the car to leave like I thought it should,ended up somewhere along the line my timing marks were off several degrees.
Just a thought.

that's really wierd that you haven't figured it out yet. you give carb advice so often to others that i thought you'd nail it down right away on your own car. is that still the dominator or the new Quickfuel 4150?
if it's the quickfuel, try a 32 squirter and blue pump cam in it at #2 position.

My car will go to 3500 on the footbrake w/o a 2 step and the converter only flashes to 4600. Give it a try, higher RPM will improve signal.

yea that sucks when you are on the other end. not a lot you can do. then I turn around give away a round I should have won. just a little rusty still, to be consistent takes time. I show signs of old then screw up. nothing but seat time will solve that. been many years since I footbrake raced.

Re: new best - 11/29/09 07:28 PM
Try it just foot braking see if it does it .
You have 50cc pumps ? Put more timing in try that .With 3 different carbs need to look somewhere else
If i remember aren't you running 360- 1or 2s alot of flow .keep us posted
