Sweeeet! Gotta love EFI for making a beast motor just start right up and idle. :clapping:
Wish the phone could get the rumble but all it seems to get is the crack that inside the rumble.
I have it starting up well. But the first minute or so I hafta let it warm up. Touch the throttle and it dies right away. Once it gurgles a min or two it will go ahead and go. I can probably get that to smooth out though. Still tuning...
Is there any temperature sensing input to your megasquirt? Or an enrichment that can time out on a first start? Maybe and oil temp output that you can use for cold start? However this is rainy day stuff...
Yes.
I have head temp input.
I have that starting and warming it up.
The transition from cold start to warm up enrichment is working but the transition from warm up enrichment to throttle input is being troublesome.
I will eventually get it. Just have not had any time for couple weeks now. All I got to do last week is crank it up and listen to it rumble.

And that was pretty awesome .. :D
I replaced an oil hose this morn.
Then burned another tank of gas.

The leak seemed to be gone for a while but now seem back at a lesser degree.
Will replace the small hose next.
exhaust pipe looks like a good gray color.....nice sound, every cylinder hits hard, liking the fancy crank pulley and bolt. ya, oil leaks on an aircooled make a little more smoke than on water cooled. no matter, water or oil ya gotta fix those leaks!
It looks like a possible leak somewhere on the braided lines, somehow? I've never used those trick -an fittings in a build. They're clean/sanitary looking and are supposed to be basically bulletproof from what I've read.
Can they fail to properly seat/seal together and if not, what would the possible reasons be for a failure?
You have to build/assemble those hoses.
And it ain't just real easy either.
So I thought I had a leak on the end to hose joint in how it crams together and screws down to wedge tight on hose. I have a little hose left over. Took the ends of and put them on a new hose. I really did not see any problems with it.
I thought I had it but it is wet again where the drips blow back onto the coil area.
I will do the same with the smaller bypass hose next.
None of the other hoses leak at all.
The pipes are sooty for sure....have burnt clean some as I have run it more.
Big monster cams don't run clean down low. It will always be sooted up.
I was looking at this adapter fitting...the seat just did not seem right...like not round. Thought I could see tracks on it where it leaked.
So re-cut the seat taper on it.
Now to give it a try.

Now that it is daylight saving time I get to see some daylight. Only worked 9 Sunday so I got to burn another tank of gas that evening. It is getting used to running all loosening up. The tune is changing....it needs a bit different again.
