Default Re: Quick Fuel 780 SSR carb

Thanks guys, you saved me some time going back over to the shop. I've used it wisely... Working on my race car. I've spent all morning going over my car. I'm trying to get all those little things that never get fixed or looked at taken care of. Someone on here talked about a T-brake tripping at the wrong time. I got to looking at my switch and figured out I was having a similar problem. my T-brake activated going up on the front end lift and going across the parking lot to load up and leave the alignment shop. You know, just a momentary thump/stumble type of apply. Well, best I can tell the little micro switch was set up in the button with partial travel already used up.
I could move the plunger less than .010 and the V/O meter would indicate a circuit. I think the odd /harsh vibrations of my little "V6" was shaking the switch enough to make a intermittent circuit. I took it all apart, moved the slope on the rod .040 and took the diameter of the rod where the switch roller rubs down to .340 depth. the switch lever starts to make contact @ .319. so I now have approx .045 travel in the plunger before the switch completes the circuit. (running SS I don't need the instant apply like a super class car) I also have the switch roller in a position where it is not touching anything when the switch is at rest. My thought there is no harmonics going through the switch lever. Well, I'll try to check it out next weekend. I think I'm going to find that thread and add my findings.
