Witches hat leak

I haven't dug into this at all yet, but based on the size of the puddle I'm thinking I lost most of the contents of fluid in my front diff on my 710. I'm guessing it's the witches hat seal, based on the oil coming from around the front cardan shaft housing flange. Any advice on the best approach to ...

Re: Cold Weather EFI Issues

In case anyone runs into this in the future, i spoke with EMS and they suggested that the post start adjustments are a percentage, so at the low cranking rpms, the fuel table is providing a rather small amount of fuel. even at 100% post start enrichment, there was probably not enough fuel. sure enou...

Re: Cold Weather EFI Issues

Right, i definitely did not tune with efficiency in mind. I used the wideband sensor for tuning and applied adjusments from 20 or so runs through rpm and vacuum ranges with the desired a/f set for somewhere near mean best power, i believe 13.3 or so. then i shaped it by hand a bit to make it smooth ...

Re: Cold Weather EFI Issues

Now the weather is not cooperating with me to test....but i am going to look into the crank sensor as soon as i get an opportunity. I did have some issues getting it to run early on, and found that the firs sensor i had was bad, but it was also not placed perfectly and i wasnt getting a good signal....

Cold Weather EFI Issues

Hi All, I have Jim L's EFI setup, and having some trouble with cold weather starting. Ive been driving it in warmer weather for a couple years, and have tuned it pretty well for those conditions. It runs great in the cold too, but only as long as i start it in the garage. i would say it starts prett...

Re: 2.7 Liter Engine w/ Torque Cam?

Re: 710 Cylinder fin rust

Thanks for the reply, yeah i saw that....and was mostly convinced. It doesnt get that hot in my neck of the woods though, so my only experience has been that the Pinz seems to run cool. I'd hate to veer too far away from the tested standards, however.

710 Cylinder fin rust

Ive got the engine out of my 710, cleaning it up and installing Jim Laguardia's cam. I've taken most everything apart at this point just to give it a thorough cleaning, even though it doesnt need a rebuild. The cylinder fins have some surface rust....does anyone have any advice on cleaning/rust prev...
