Perhaps you were running a bit on the rich side? My steed rode ok at idle - a bit of lope, but under control, once it wamed up. but I know it worked pretty well with the pump, and did run out of juice without it. I only ran 10 lbs of boost... Then again, I had some problems with my fuel filter getting plugged all the time (long story) -----Original Message----- From: Tim Drew <timdrew@cix.co.uk> To: inniss@sprynet.com <inniss@sprynet.com> Cc: turbobike@natvideo.com <turbobike@natvideo.com> Date: Saturday, April 24, 1999 4:04 PM Subject: Re: [turbobike] [Fwd: Another Virus Warning...] Pat, Against all advice I gravity feed the S&S Shorty Super-E carburetor on my old GSX-R11 draw-through system. I used a Pingle fuel tap and a fairly short length of 3/8 fuel hose. The system was set up for 18psi boost and I never experienced any lean running, although it has to be said the Super-E has got an incredibly large float bowl. BTW, I wouldn't recommend using a S&S Shorty Super-E for street use. My old draw-through turbo system ran really well on boost, but like a heap of shit at low speed - An absolute nightmare in slow moving traffic - And that's after spending a lot of time attempting to set the damn thing up.
