Hi all, struggeling to set up my 240 its proving difficult to jet between needle and atomiser (just over 1/4 to 3/4 throttle) and the plug showing its lean and running hot. If i go any higher on the jetting with needle or atomiser the scoot just bogs and sounds like it's breaking down and wont pull clean unless i drop a gear and feather it through to full throttle. once it clears to full throttle the thing is flying but its only got 35 mile on since rebuild and i need to get it something like so i can run it in properly.

Its running very hot and i've got combinations of x7/x13/x2 needles and av264/266/268 atomisers.

As far as i can tell theres no air leaks.

The only differnce with this set up and its original set up is the skirt length is longer by 2mm and it was originaly running a 42mm ancillotti.

Help any one??

Cheers Jay

Are you running it through a filter on an elbow? just wondering if it's blow back at a certain point in the revs. Try it open mouthed and see if it improves. If you are already running open mouthed then check how close the carb is to the panel. Just some thoughts ;)

I generally use an 8 plug on chop rides
it responds more, and sooner, than a 9...

you set the timing with a strobe ?

you should try a smaller pilot ,around 48 to 50 and the av268 atomiser,it'll be running hot because its too lean on the atomiser,but you are making it act rich with too big a pilot,once you have the midrange something like you may well need to go down on the main jet,but you'll have to chop it to see.the other thing you don't list is what slide cutaway you're running,this also has a big influence,i would think a 45 will do the trick with a right-angle filter setup

Hi thanks for the reply, its running a 40slide as originaly set up by Chiselspeed

60pilot
AV266
X7 second clip
130main

I have taken the filter off tonight and it flys but its still flat around 1/2 to 3/4 and you have to feather it through. I really want to run it with the filter as its quite heavy on spit back.

I will try and get the mid sorted as you suggest. Just a question how long should it take to colour a plug?? instant or a few miles at a held throttle position?

Many thanks and much appreciated
Jay

one thing you don't say is if the engine originally had a 62mm stroke or was it 58mm?because if the barrel was done for 58mm stroke then you would have much greater inlet timing now due to the increase in stroke added to by the 2mm off the skirt so no wonder a lot of spit back if thats the case.
as for how long to get a colour you should get a meaningful one with about 5 or 6 miles running,but getting a colour to tell you midrange is not very easy ,unlike a full throttle chop for the main jet.

The engine was originally done for the 62 crank,and a barrel base packer the asso piston that was with it had 4mm off the inlet which gave it quite a large inlet duration, i have put a replacement Avanti 70mm due to the fact the asso had been damaged by the crank weight coming loose and being distributed up the transfers.
