Has Sidedraft_Central gone?? just went to do some reading up and the whole Yahoo group is missing....... i know Mr Franck moved to [email protected] but that seems dead too.......

Has Keith Franck sacked it off?? thats unfortunate if he has.......

That's a relief. His (Keith's) Hypojets and O-tubes turned my carbs into EFI...

OOps, just noticed my spam filter has been picking them up.

Still, a waste that all that information on Yahoo groups has gone now it would appear, i was about a fifth of the way through it and kept going back spare time permitting ....... :cry:

Do you have a copy of the "White Paper"?

I do indeed, i printed it off and followed it to get my car initially set up..... only problem was i didn't fit a cork Airbox gasket to my S4/Sprint so my idle/cruise was less than ideal :roll: so i had to start again.


If you need a copy of his White paper, John (Hawksfield) kindly put a copy on the second post down here viewtopic.php?f=40&t=40588

Out of interest, did you set up your cruise to 12.5afr as well as WOT??

I have his W45 Idle jets, VF tubes and 36mm chokes and i agree it pulls like a train!!

Born, and brought home from the hospital (no seat belt (wtf)) in a baby!
Find out where the limits are, and start from there

Well, this is with DCOE40 151's with 34mm chokes on my car's standard Toyota 4age 1600.... I think it has very similar breathing characteristics to the Twink.....but this info is probably less relevant here. It is an encouragement for anyone interested in Keith's jets....

I'm at 12.5 wide open and a 13.5 to 14 light cruise -- and a 15 to 16:1 over run (throttles closed). Idle mixture is set to 12.7.

115 mains (believe it or not). #05 O-tubes, .024" hypojet idles on the biggest hole.

I had a huge collection of Weber jets and tubes to test with and nothing came close.
