I can have mine modified but by the time I buy metering blocks and boosters to try and make the 3 circuit run right, it may just be time to change carbs I've heard of guys running the 8082 on the street and it works just fine... just like Thumper

No way these out the box 3 circuits can run clean @ tip in , as soon as the throttle blades are cracked open fuel will pour in below the boosters , i'm gonna bet anyone running a 3 circuit out the box with no modifications to temporary block the intermediate tube with a tooth pick or similar & then post back hoe that little ole mod made the world of difference.

You are absolutely correct. I spent a month dialing mine in. Once I did the plugs were a nice tan brown. It was the best carb I ever owned. I restricted the transfer slots but you could probably do the same with the intermediate circuit. I also opened up the PV chanels so I didn't need as much primary jet, but this the jetting and PV sizing will depend on a lot of things (intake, cam, engine size, etc.)

A Holley three circuit Dominator probably needs to have the intermediate circuit reduced by about 80% to run it on the street at part throttle. Get yourself a wide band setup so you know what your AF ratio is. An 8896 is not designed to be a street carb. If you're going to try to run one on the street then you need to at least be prepared to completely retune the fuel circuits. You are trying to make that carb do something it wasn't designed to do. What he said! I struggled for what seemed like eternity with a massively rich off-idle condition in my 8896. I was working with a LM-1 unit and it was readiing as rich as 9:1. Following some advice on the LM-1 forum, I purchased some Quickfuel (?) billet metering blocks. I simply installed them with a some fairly standard jetting (can't remember exactly what it was) and took it for a run to get a baseline for which to tune from. That was 6 months ago, the billet plates made so much differece that I haven't even bothered to go back and fine tune the carb. I should add, the Quickfuel metering blocks came as a pair, with PV provision on the primary side and no provision for a PV on the secondary side. Last edited by Damned67; 01/03/10 10:19 PM.
