RE: Jetting Changes in Cooler Weather?

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

This may sound a bit goofy but it seemed to work. I was adding the total 
orifice area of all the jets and using this as a means to 
increase/decrease the jetting. The night we did so well I have the temp 
as 43deg and I know the air was very damp. This is good for electrical 
connections! I started the night at .488" total at WOT and ended at 
.496" total at WOT. If you have an Eddy chart it's right in between the 
18/23 and 22 positions for the 1404 carb. The rods went from 6552 to 
6347 on .089 primary jets with plain springs. The sec jets went from 
.095" to .098". I used .33 pump nozzles and set the accel pump at maxon 
the lower settings and changed to mid for the final settings. I picked 
up .14sec that night in the 1/8th. My 60' dropped .088sec. I know the 
hardcore racers may think this primitive but we have fun:-) Right Ollie? 
I only got to race twice this year but I hope to be able to pick it up 
again next season. Until then 'ol LeRoar will be at the Strategic Air 
and Space Museum for 6 months , with Paul's '63 Plymouth. Ain't it nice 
to know we are represented  for a change!!!
