Midget looks a bit haggard, no doubt mostly due to "job pressures" . . . . . . 'cause we all know racing is nothing but FUN! ? ! ? ? ? ? ? right?
The problem with managing "Human Resources" is that one tends to have to deal extensively with the first half of the title, while actually
being the second half of the title.
I'm the one who raised his hand . . .
Not really complaining - I can't think of 50 other people I'd rather be working with. But it's insurance renewal time, we've got a VP of Sales retiring, a CEO with an engineering and operations background stepping down, a new CEO stepping up from the marketing side, some client and customer demands regarding state mandated certifications of the staff.
Back to the K.
I'm getting it to pop on start-up, wanting to run, but the minute I hit the accelerator, it dies. Plugs are carboned up, so I'm running rich. Right now, the fuel rail is showing 43 lbs, and I'm debating whether to roll back the pressure or shorten up the injector pulse. They're 36 lb injectors, which seem huge for a 1 liter, but for a 1 liter intended to run full open for 3 minutes, I'm told the shorter duty cycle will give me better injector control above 7K.
I'll start with the fuel pressure reduction before I delve into the madness of the programming - let's just see if I can get it to idle.
