Hi, Dan-
All is a question of "extent" on the setting,
Dan. "Leaness" or "richness" in any of
the circuits can be overdone of course.
"Balance" is the key and even this can be
seen differently. Using my car to commute
at street legal speeds in the New York Metro area made economy a
consideration of my particular set-up, yet
I wanted the "punch" the DCOE obviously
provides when you put your foot into it
as "acceleration" (getting the hell out of the other guy's way when he
screws up,
for instance!) can be a "safety" as well
as a performance consideration!
"Balancing" the system with respect to the
above considerations allowed both economy and performance (safety)
considerations to be met, without the "over" richness you describe on
acceleration.
In the immediately foregoing respects,
I got what I paid for with respect to the
dyno session, while checking out my own
jet selection for my particular set-up. I
did pretty good for a "newbie", having
selected "intuitively" based on Vizard
book, etc. Not surprising, as the engine
was basically Vizard parts and "design",
with David himself giving help and recommendations over the phone. Guy
knows his stuff and so does the "other"
David (Anton).
There are more little brass screws to
unscrew under that float cover, Daniel,
unless your DCOE is different from mine?! :) Within one of those
channels
(one on each side) you will find two tiny
ball bearings, one each. Don't get mad
at me, they are there but, I haven't the
time right now to get further into this
and as I said before, I could be mistaken
as to their role in the scheme of things.
Next week, when I get back I shall open
mine up and find the little critters, tell you
exactly where I found them and then find
my Weber books and check on EXACTLY what these little critters do.
I've got to take it apart anyway and make
sure it is in the same excellent shape it
was when I sprayed it down for protection
before storing it away for possibly another
day years ago, before it goes to Mike MacLean out on the coast (other
coast!).
Nothing wrong with your "take" on the
DCOE and method of setting it up at all;
more than one way to skin a cat (sorry
Ed in NC, no offense intended!) in
any application of this fine piece of
machinery!
Cap'n. Bob
