Got it running...now I need some ideas
Posted: Thu Jul 30, 2009 8:53 pm
Got the motor running, actually runs pretty good. The response off idle is very good but....it never seems to settle back to the same idle each time. If I rev it up it drops down to about 2500 and then creeps back to my 1200 rpm idle i want.....sometimes, other times it goes to 1700rpm for a while. This motor is a V-twin 2 cylinder in a rhino type UTV. It has extensive motor work including 11:1 compression, lots of port work, and really wild cams that don't make power till 7000rpm (this is normal for a CVT belt system). The side effect of the real wild cams is crappy vacuum at idle, it idles at about 80-85 kpa. I did make a little plenum to connect the 2 cylinders together and then to my MAP sensor. I have done no tuning yet except to play with the required fuel to see where the idle likes to be. Is this the type of situation where I should be going down the Alpha N path instead of the speed density? or maybe a blend?? Just some initial ideas anyone? I will play some more this weekend and post my msq and some datalog files.
Anyway you slice it...its already better than my crappy carbs I had that everybody on the UTV forums swore were the best.....whatever!!!
