Re: Pulsing engine?



Gary,
If all the ignition system checks out and the carb is clean you could try larger main jets. Drill them out one size at a time with number drills until the surge is gone. If that doesn't work go back to stock size and keep trouble shooting.

So should I add some "octane boost" parts store bottled concoction to the gas in the Mopar now to see what happens with the regular grade "gas" (10% ethanol crud) in there? Or is that "octane boost" stuff more marketing than chemistry?

Thanks,
Gary H.

  Gary,
  A lean mixture will cause this condition. No one mentions the fact that
  today's premium fuel is the octane equivalent of regular grade back when
  our cars were designed. I have to think we should use the good stuff for
  best performance or detune to accommodate the lower octane grades.
