Death at Half Throttle
Death at Half Throttle
I went to crank the Dale Saturday night and apparently the check ball got stuck on me and the cylinder was hyrdo-locked. I took the plug out and blew out the oil. After putting the plug and tank back on it fired right up.
The next day I went to the track and made one lap before it started cutting out and backfiring. It does it right around half throttle. If I rev it up slowly it'll rev though.
I've changed the plug to no avail. I'm going to try replacing the fuel filter tomorrow. Does anyone have any other ideas? Could some of that oil getting in the coil cause problems?

I leaning toward a bad injector or a bad TPS. There is a dead spot on the throttle just off of idle. If you ease on the throttle, you can get it past that spot and it will rev to the limiter. If you just stab it.....it dies. I've checked all of his connections, fuel lines, fuel conectors, sump in the tank, fuel pump, and spark plug. There is no fault in the computer for injectors or TPS, but it acts like it is too lean or that it has a burned spot on the TPS. I guess I'm going to have to get my oscilloscope and check these items also.
