    im beating my brains out over this lean condition-i see plenty of fuel pressure, wondering if that translates to enough fuel vol
    im running one of the Howard Stewart race pumps (i know) but wanted all mech stuff-it seems to work fine, the gauge shown over 15 lbs around 8 lbs boost-i have the gauge on the line going to the pri bowl, wondering if the sec bowl line could be less pressure, but the pri line still have good pressure, or would both have to be the same
    i switched carbs, replaced the sensor, same result-i cant keep winging this thing untii it blows up, i need some results, lol
    the carb on there now has been on 2 other Procharged engines, and was fine

    You could runaway fuel flow /volume test. Disconnect from the carb and into a bucket. Check the volume 60sec and compare to advertised gph flow

    problem ended up being the LM-1 giving me a false reading, everything else was perfect-nothing like wasteing a week over nothing

    You wouldn't have said that if it really was lean and you melted a ring land. :D

    It always pays to check in the long run.
