I just finished putting my '96 formula III motor into a '97 formula III chassis.
Should I use the carbs that came with the '96 or should I use the '97 carbs? They are both VM-36 Mikunis but the '97 uses straight jetting (176 mains) while the '96 uses staggered (172-173-172).
It is idling very high. After running it will go down to about 2600, then climb to 3100rpm. I didn't alter any of the settings so I don't understand why it has the high idle but why might the idle be climbing if it sits for a few seconds?
It's smoking a lot. I'm not sure what oil is in the bottle but it is smoking more than what a oil that is known for smoking would produce. The oil pump is set with th lines aligned with the throttle closed.
When I use the brake it makes an initial clunk sound/feeling but stops fine. What causes this?
I haven't looked into any of these issues yet as I'm exhausted from working on it all day. If anybody in the Northern IL area wants to come by and assist in the tuning, don't hesistate to PM me
