I don't see a 600 vac secondary carb doing that combo any justice.

---

Either do I, looking for a 750....but it's what I got now

But I think your right on the spring too light, looks like a little trial and error session

Like Quick said, the back barrels don't get a pump shot. So if it bogs the spring is to light opening to fast causing it to lean out.

Holley's got about 5 or 6 different springs for tuning the vac secondaries. They are colored for different spring values so you know what your putting in, weaker or stronger. mike

Thanks Mike, I have all the springs, actually it's a Quick Fuel Quick Change Kit, I actually think it might be the short spring, which is like having no spring at all for the 1st 1/4" to 3/8" upon opening, going to try the yellow (long) spring next (second lightest) but taller...we'll see

How about some more pump shot????

---

I thought about that, but it's adjusted correctly and getting a pretty good shot now....was very crisp on just the primaries, no hesitation at all, gonna try the springs 1st and go from there.....wish I still had the 750 lying around

Just saying..If it were me I'd be throwing some squirter at it too...

---

I agree, just got back in from two spring changes and the next to stiffest seems to work well, might try the 50CC pump off the Domi and see if it picks up at all...??????

Got a set of 4.10's with Sure-Grip showing up 1st of the week, so Friday night I will be pleased if we can get it to run low - mid 8's

Ran 9.7 a couple of weeks ago with the 3.55 peg-leg and no secondaries at all...

It was my Son's 1st lap and he is stoked to get back out....

Thanks for the help guys

I doubt whether the secondaries are causing the bog issues , air speed needs to be pretty high in order for the secs to open regardless of spring tension , i can't see they are opening when you hit the gas from a standstill , get hold of a paper clip & wrap it round the secondary arm , go hit the throttle till the motor bogs then go see if the clip has moved up from where you placed it , this will answer you're question , good luck.

---

Adam, the heavier spring fixed the bog...it's gone and tips in perfectly now, so it was opening way to soon, going to try a bigger pump shot as Al suggested to see if it picks up any on the initial hit

See what squirter size is in it now and try a different size (up and down, down will make it squirt longer, bigger will squirt more in sooner)before swapping out the pump size

---

Don't have an assortment of squirters but do have some different pump cams....wonder if we might notice an improvement there...

Rickster

---

I doubt it, only way to tell for sure would be having a 60' timer.

---

Well this week I'm gonna just let him make as many laps as he can, since his 1st time out he only got one, we can play with the carb later, it runs good enough now as is
