PROBLEM SOLVED, THANKS LYNN!!



I’ve now had a chance to get my car on the track since Lynn gave me his advice. My egt problem seems to have been cured.



In case anyone else has the same problem, here is what I did:

- bought a #300 ball fuel inlet valve from Gene Berg (that is the biggest I could find),

- reset the fuel level,

- opened up the inlet just before the valve,

- increased the fuel pressure to 6 psi, and,

- opened up the two fuel bowl vents slightly.



Evidently, as Lynn suggested, my fuel level at full throttle was going down causing a lean condition and elevated egt.



Thanks again, Lynn. This forum is great.



Any question any time. Glad to be of help.



The Dillsburg aeroplane works used to sell 4130 for race cars and airplanes.



Are they still in business?

Yep. They are. Charlie Vogelsong Jr. runs the day to day operation as he has for several years now. Charlie Sr. has pretty much retired.
