mike no i just unplug the fuel pump, with no gas it unfloods pretty quick mike |
I was talking to this one guy I know(Owns a FC and SA) and he was saying that the walbro pump will cause any NA to run rich.Do you have a pressure regulator on it?

Sorry I've taken so long to get back to you I've got it running and I've done nothing but race and rod the piss out of it ever since. It's fast now, probably over a full second quicker than the carb setup. I killed a modded 90 5.0 mustang, by about 12 car lengths and put about half a car length on a new lt1 vette. I'm getting ready to go pick up my zex kit, and get that in, but it will probably be monday before i can get the bottle filled.
We topped it out on the highway my speedometer only goes to 130, but it goes way past that to the 'm' in mph; and it gets there quick. I need more gears!!! What would you guys think of me switching out my GSL-SE 4.10 rear end for a 3.90? It has the power now, I think it might make it quicker... Also, I don't think it's running rich with the walbro pump, the stock regulator should keep it in check. A little rich + zex = https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif All we had to do to start it was pull start it to about 30mph and it fired right up, smoked like crazy for about 30 minutes, but ran good considering, it didn't take much tweaking at all to get it to run like it does now. It was well worth it in my opinion, but my carb sucked! The only thing is it doesn't start like a fuel injected car you have to hold it floored, for it to fire right up. Also as far as premix goes I have no ill effects, it doesn't smoke, before with the carb it would smoke at idle a bit and alot when you were racing and shifted, now it doesn't hardly smoke at all. I think suprisingly for doing everything myself it turned out very well, I'm throughly impressed with it, and even managed to scare a couple of people, with how hard it pulls, and how easy it goes sideways through the twisties :smirk: |
Cool glad to hear it.So you can't just crank it to start it?Theres something wierd there.
|
well i'm glad it runs, thats pretty cool :bigthumg: it should start by just turning the key, but hey its a big project. they always need some little things once you get it running
mike |
It does start when you turn the key, it just seems to start easier if you hold it floored, any ideas???
|
Maybe not enough fuel when you go to crank it at first? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

did you hook up the air temp sensor yet?

did you hook up the air temp sensor yet? Yes, I did like I said I'm not real familar with 2nd gens, but i found where it went. the only thing I'm lacking is the atp sensor, the air pressure one. I'll get that tomorrow or tuesday. I just can't decide on the zex, oh well can't hurt to just try it for a week or so, I think it will be fun, coming down into 3rd gen territory! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif |

Would anyone know since i used the stock wires for the new pump, does it turn the pump off when you hit the starter?
|
on a 79 the pump is straight to the key. on the 86 its hooked thru the afm
