Well to get every one up to speed, I rebuilt my TR6 engine last year, bored to 2.7 lots of goodies, I have 40DCOE webers on it, and been trying to get the Air to fuel ratio set, and as they say webers are great because they are infinately adjustable and they are bad because they are infinately adjustable. After spending a lot of time adjusting the carbs, which means swaping out jets which isnt cheap, I think I am pretty close, I have an Inovate motorsport AF meter in the car. I have pretty much dialed in the webers, I know modern cars run 14.7 AF ratio which is the best for fuel economy and hard to do with carburators
I have read that 13.1 AF ratio is the best for power.
Now my stats
at Idle I am runing 12.5
crusing at 35 to 45 MPH in town its around 13.4
on the highway at 2700 rpm and 70 MPH its in the 12.5 to 13 range
and believe me I have read up on adjusting webers,and all the circuits that come into play, bought a set of micro drill bits in MM sizes so I can drill the jets out instead of purchasing a ton of jets,(found that on the NET)
one question is any one with an AF meter have any stats on what their AF ratio is and what carbs are you running, it would be nice to see someone running the original Strombergs and what readings they have
I just dont want to wash the cylinders and wear the rings out prematurally, plus I dont want to get too lean and burn a piston up
but since I only have 800 miles on a new engine doubt it will happen soon
I did take it out for a 60 mile drive around charlotte this morning
