Finally had some time to tune recently. Planed on getting some additional time with it today but is snowed, go figure.
Here's a few screen shots of my LM-2 during a few recent tuning sessions. Don't pay to much attention to the AFR in these graphs. I was focused more on the AFR curve.
You can see in the first graph, the AFR (pink line) is up and down all over the place. The BG 650 DP Speed Demon is set up out of the box stock. In the highlighted area of the 1st run, the 8.5" power valve is not open yet and primary is opened about 1/2 way or so. My TPS is off a bit as well in these.
(The pink line is AFR, red is vacuum, black is rpm and green is throttle position)
In the graph below, I reduced the high speed air bleed from .041 to .029 and the middle emulsion hold from .031 to .018 and things look much better.
The little bump just as the mains start is what I'm working on next. I played around with the transfer slot first trying to make it active longer by changing the idle air bleed and IFR with no success. I raised the float attempting to make the mains come in a bit sooner, no luck. Next, I reduced the size of the upper emulsion hole thinking it would help start the mains sooner. It actually made it worse/leaner. After some reading, it seems that a larger upper emulsion hole can help the mains come on earlier and richer. Kinda not what you would think, we shall see.
Below is a test I did to determine when the transition slots and IFR ran out of steam. I covered the main boosters with rubber glove finger tips and tied them off with wire to disable them, I then started the car in neutral and very slowly opened the throttle. As you can see, it's flat for a bit then gets progressively lean as it shuts off. The TPS calibration is off in this graph but now I know where my transition circuits shuts off and mains start.
As far as how the car is running now, I did my first rolling start burnout, just a little one
. I was cruising in 1st. gear about 10mph and stomped it, the rear started fishtailing. Nice, I'm getting close on the tune.
