Post  Cribbs74 Wed Dec 14, 2011 9:07 am

I am setting up my Tach race engine and I noticed that the spray bar hole is cocked to the left when viewed from the venturi hole. I was wanting to press it out and center it as well as give it a thorough cleaning. I know this was mentioned elsewhere but I cant seem to find it. So what is the best way to press it out? I only have one shot at this and I don't want to break anything.

I was reading Larry Rengers how to hop up those backplates a fews days ago. He said turn vent hole 15 degrees downstream of perpendicular to the flow. He was talking about getting more power out of the Hiper Viper.

I have the same problem, but am not going to mess with it in fear of breaking something.

That is true Ron.
Here is a pic of the rear of mine.
I also enlarged the intake for more air flow.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am not sure if that is what I already have going on. I am having a little trouble visualizing what you mentioned. The spray bar is perpendicular already but the hole the fuel sprays from is off center. 15 degrees? Not sure.

Yeah, I want to do that too, nobody has answered my original question as to how to properly press the spray bar out! Very Happy

Another way to say it would be to turn the vent hole 75 degrees from strait forward, almost sideways.

85 degrees from forward would be 15 from perpendicular. To remove it, I would try(never done this) heating it with a soldering iron and pulling it out, then re-seat it with some JB Weld on the splines.

I can't see the hole in the spraybar in that picture. As for the venturi, I think whatever size the red KB venturi is is about the useable maximum, After that it probably gets really hard to crank.

So were they offset from the factory on purpose?

Popped the black tube piece off, pushed on the brass tube with a plastic drift and out she came!

Don't think this is the exact article but it's written by Larry Renger

http://www.mccookfieldfac.com/helpful-info/cox-engines.pdf

It's a good read nonetheless.

According to Larry, I've already ruined all of my engines by washing them off with fuel and flying them again. Oh well, I wouldn't have much fun if I went home as soon as I crashed every time.

Hi Douglas,
I am on a mac to link.
Select the text/URL that you want to link.
Once selected hold down the button called "cmd" and "c" at the same time and then to paste it hold down "cmd" and "v".
