Re: DHADLEY

I'M USING THE STOCK FUEL PUMP (VRO DISCONNECTED),WITH HOLLEY (BLUE) ELECTRIC PUMP ADJUSTED THE PRESSURE AT 3 POUNDS.<br />.....+++LIQUID FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE.<br /><br />BETWEEN THE GAS TANK AND THE HOLLEY,IT'S AN OMC WATER/FUEL FILTER .<br /><br />P.S.; DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE USING<br />"SPLIT FIRE" SPARK PLUGS ?<br /><br />REGARDS,<br />DON

Re: DHADLEY

Good deal on the Holley pump. Since youre using it to feed the fuel pump you can turn up the pressure a little. The engines fuel pump will act as a regulator to the carbs. <br /><br />I would run the needle and seats from a crossflow carb. They have a larger inlet hole and can fill the carbs quicker at higher rpms. <br /><br />Thats a good filter too. Just use straight fittings -- no 90's. <br /><br />Some of the guys have fooled around with Split Fires and other gimmic plugs. It really never worked out. The motor ran the same at best and burned pistons at worst.<br /><br />Does the budget allow for some trick pieces from Monty Racing?

Re: DHADLEY

I TRY TO INCREASE THE PRESSURE TO 4 POUNDS, BUT THE CARB WAS FLOADED. THE BEST I CAN, IS 3 POUNDS.<br /><br />NEEDLE & SEATS FROM A CROSSFLOW?, WHAT YEAR & H.P.. DO YOU HAVE A PART #'s ?<br /><br />I TRY TO BE IN CONTACT WITH GORDON(MONTY RACING), BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE . ALWAYS I CALLED, THE ANSWERING MACHINE IS THERE !!!!!.<br />ALSO, I WOULD LIKE TO GET A PORTED REED CAGES OR MODIFY MY STOCK ONES.<br /><br />I JUST INCREASE MY TIMING TO 18 .<br /><br />THANKS A LOT !!!<br /><br />DON

Re: DHADLEY

Yo CHICHO,<br />You don' really need much pressure from the pump to the carbs, you need volume and that Holley blue will pump more then enough fuel at 2-3psi.<br /><br />c/6<br />Hooty

Re: DHADLEY

DHADLEY: I CAN GET THE FOLLOWING CROSS-FLOW, FLOAT VALVE ASSY (NEEDLE & SEAT):<br />1.- OMC PART # 396520 (from v4 -1988),<br />2.- OMC PART # 396521 (from v4 -1978),<br />3.- OMC PART # 383437 (from v6 -235 H.P.).<br /><br />WHICH ONE IT'S SUITED FOR MY LOOPER V4 ????<br /><br />THANKS,<br />DON

Re: DHADLEY

We used the 396520's.

Re: DHADLEY

HI, HADLEY . USING THE CROSS FLOW -NEEDLE & SEAT ASSY.- , DO I NEED TO ADJUST THE FLOAT ??<br />OR JUST, CHANGE THE SEAT & NEEDLE .<br />WHAT'S ABOUT THE USE OF THE SMALL SPRING, THAT FIX THE THE NEEDLE WITH THE FLOAT ???<br /><br />THANKS,<br />DON

 

[Dhadley]

Re: DHADLEY

The float level is pretty critical. We want as much fuel in the bowl as possible without flooding over. Too little fuel and it will slosh to the back of the chamber creating a split second of hesitation on takeoff. That should be fairly minimal on a 20' boat. The stock float level is a very good place to start. <br /><br />Yes, the small clip keeps the needle connected to the float.

Re: DHADLEY

HI, DHADLEY. TODAY, I WAS CHECK AT THE OMC CATALOG THE # 396520 FLOAT & VALVE ASSY. AND DO NOT INCLUDED THE "CLIP", TO FIX THE NEEDLE TO THE FLOAT. MAY I BE ABLE TO INSTALL THE KIT WITHOUT IT ?.<br /><br />THANKS,<br />DON

 

[Dhadley]

Re: DHADLEY

Sure. Use the ones you have now if they're there.

 

[Don CHICHO]

Re: DHADLEY

DHADLEY. SORRY!!!, BUT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND, IF I USED MY PRESENT NEEDLE (WITH THE CLIP!), INSIDE OF A SEAT FROM A CROSS-FLOW ( OMC PART # 396520)<br /><br />WHAT'S THE SUPPOSE DIFFERENCE ???, BETWEEN THE LOOPER & CROSS-FLOW SEAT ???<br /><br />SAME NEEDLE ( SAME DIAMETER ??!!) --DIFFERENT SEAT-- ?????<br /><br />REGARDS,<br />DON

Re: DHADLEY

DHADLEY. ARE YOU HERE ???!!!<br /><br />DON

 

[Mettaree]

Re: DHADLEY

Pardon me Dhadley: Don just use move the clip from the old needle to the new needle.<br /><br />

 

[Don CHICHO]

Re: DHADLEY

THANKS. BUT THE HEAD OF THE NEEDLE FROM A V4 CROSSFLOW (1988) IS DIFFERENT FROM A LOOPER V4,AND CAN'T FIX THE CLIP FROM THEM.<br />THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING IF I CAN INSTALL THE NEEDLE WHITHOUT THE CLIP ON LOOPER V4's ( using the the needle & seat from 1988 CrossFlow).<br /><br />DON

 

[Dhadley]

Re: DHADLEY

Sorry Don, I didnt mean to leave you hanging -- I had to go to Daytona for a few days. <br /><br />If the retaining clip didnt come in the kit you can order some (603145) from the dealer. To be honest, I thought they were all alike. But anyway, you can assemble it without the clip but I would prefer to have one.

Re: DHADLEY

Re: DHADLEY

THANKS, DHADLEY .I ORDERED 4ea. set of #396520 .ANY NEWS ABOUT THE EVOLUTION INTAKE MANIFOLD ???.<br /><br />HOW ABOUT " DRY STACKING" ???<br /><br />DON

 

[Dhadley]

Re: DHADLEY

Bike Week was interesting but I would rather have been keeping up with my stuff.<br /><br />Anyway, yes -- dry stacking is in the program. When you get ready, pull the powerhead and the lower unit and I'll walk you thru it. A factory manual is a good idea since it has the water flow chart. That will come in handy.<br /><br />I havent located the manifold yet. It may be over at the shop where we built the Formula II motor. I'll keep looking.
