switched to 60%

[moontz]

today i tried 60% nitro for first time in a cmb 67 purple head on a seaducer. when using 40% i have the settings pretty much nailed down. switching to 60%, intitally started with same setting (1.5 turns out) and the thing is spitting major fuel out the pipe. not only at idle but also as the boat goes by i can see fuel spraying out the pipe and the thing is wasting major fuel. yes, sounds rich but i have gone all the way down to only 1 turn out (os remote needle) and still spraying. one other change i found out when i got home is the pipe slid back about 1/2 inch accidently (clamp was loose).

1. do you typically lean down your needle when upping the nitro %?

2. would a pipe too long cause my situation?

wanted to test more but t-storms came rolling in so had to take off before i was lightning strike statistic.

thanks for the help, Brian

yes a pipe to long will cause it.

shorten it up and see what happens.

Just wondering. What fuel are you using? Where did you get it? Where are you running your boat?
