Subject: a HA! Carter BBD secrets revealed!
Woe be unto us with the infamous feedback BBD carb... prone to running
lean, puking off-road, running lean, stumbling on severe hills, running
lean, etc.... but THERE'S HOPE!
Whilst perusing the web this morning, searching for perhaps some
manufacturer's guidance, I came upon a few interesting tidbits...
<http://www.asashop.org/autoinc/august/techtips.htm> for one... Tech Tips
for the feedback BBD. It describes how to set idle mixture. You see, the
manuals tell you to disconnect the connector to the stepper motor, but they
DON'T tell you that the position of the stepper motor makes a difference!
I didn't know this till I happened upon this page. Basically, it describes
how you can tell by looking down the throat of the carb the position of the
metering pins of the stepper motor, and how they need to be mid-positioned,
or toward the rear of the carb, in order to correctly set the idle mixture.
I didn't know that! Unfortunately, it also makes reference to a diagram
(picture) of the metering pins, and how to tell where they are by that, but
this particular page doesn't include the picture.
I also came upon a quickie exhaust gas analyzer! For ANY engine! And
those with the feedback carb, which already have O2 sensors, already have
half what you need! The only thing else you need is a decent
high-impedance digital voltmeter, say of 2v range. Details are at
<http://alicudi.usc.edu/~jan/vw/Engine/ExhaustAnalyzer>
What you do is disconnect the feedback carb connector, then take voltage
readings at the O2 sensor, and adjust mixture as required. If only I still
had my digital voltmeter... <pout>.
More good stuff is out there.... I found this stuff by searching Yahoo
with CARTER+BBD as the search string.
Point is... Timex seems to be making a nice recovery now! Oh, regarding
the metering pins... to move mine back, what I did was disconnect the O2
sensor, then fire her up (with the feedback connector connected), that
moved the pins back, tweaked the mixture screws and now she finally idles
(most of the time). I still have to replace the "solevac", and it turns
out the EGR valve has a rotten diaphragm, too, so I guess I'm supposed to
replace that. As long as she runs and doesn't ping, then I personally
don't think it's worth the $65.00 or so, at least not right now... there
are many more important things on Timex that have been broken for a LOT
longer... like the transfer case... and the tranny.... so kronk the EPA!
<grin>.

Date: Fri, 30 May 1997 12:39:27 -0700 From: Gordon McKenzie <gordmck-at-direct.ca> Subject: Jacobs, MSD etc I was at an RV shop and found a brochure for Aurora Ignition system and was trying to compare it to either MSD or Jacobs. Remember I'm an accountant, so all I was concerned about is the price. This system is $368 for a replacement coil and wires. They claim 15-25 percent increase in mileage and have a 30 day guarantee. Now this almost seems worth it to me from a payback point of view. If I spend $150 per month on gas (about a tank a week) and can reduce that by 15% ($22 per month) I'll have a payback of 16 months. Add to that the occassional long drive I take and it should pay for itself in a year. So my question is, what does the MSD or Jacobs typically cost? Remember that this $368 is is around $265 US and this system seems cheap. Anyway, the system claims to be able to produce a 100,000 volt spark of a higher amperage to burn the spark longer, etc. etc. etc. The wires are supposed to have less resistance (the guy did some conductivity test comparing stock Ford and GM wires, but I have no idea how the meter was calibrated) and have a lifetime warranty (which may be worth the price in itself). Supposed to be an hour to install with the hardest part being bolting the thing to the truck. You also can leave the stock system in place as a backup. Sorry to be so long, but I am thinking of buying this and am curious if it sounds too good to be true.

I spoke to the company directly and he is suggesting 20% for a loaded engine (ie towing a trailer which I will be doing Sunday) but wouldn't make any claims for an unloaded vehicle. All other claims are similar to Jacobs, MSD. Then I talked to a shop owner (he retails the product) where I had some tranny work done and he swears by the system. Has it in a mid 80's XJ and claims to get 15-20% better mileage and better performance. (For Eddie, he claims that he can take the Coquihala hill at 100 k as opposed to 85 k with stock ignition. But that truck should be able to do better than 85k stock). Anyway, it would save about $100 (the cost of the wire set) over the MSD system.

...what it's like driving Timex? <grin>. Well, you can now find out,
ONLINE! Ok, well, it ain't Timex, it actually ain't even a Jeep. However,
you can take a virtual tour with one of four vintage VWs, at:

Take the Type III. It's JUST like driving around in Timex. Trust me.
Just close your eyes and ignore the pix. Just read what it says, and now
you'll know just what I go through... <grin>.

where r u again??
i had a nother idea. we can wait for the PNW fest
to end, and all the trip reports to come in, and get the calnev
FSJers to get jealous and then spring one on em!!
hollister is just a mountainous region S of san jose, that has
MANY dirt trails for ALL levels of 4x4 experience. including
some models of the diffficult spots on some of
the states famouse trails.
a club in Sbay, calle d esprit de four, puts on a biannuall
'howto' event at the holister area. it is basically a beginners
intro to offroading. but it costs $40+

Date: Fri, 30 May 97 19:14:08 EDT From: rdmbfe-at-micro.lucent.com (M_B_FEICK) Subject: Mr. Beef/Omni-Magnum As soon as I get the L/R unit on the good QT, I am ready to roll the "new" th400/QT combo into place. I took the old stuff out as a unit and plan to install the new the same way. Didn't even need to raise the truck up, either After that, me and a crazy cat named Zack are most likely gonna install the soon-to-be-completed 258. Anyway, in the mean time I didn't need the hard-won Omni-Magnum set-up, so me and a buddy decided to give it a whirl on his new Ram pickup with 318 (I believe-it's NOT the 360 V8). This guy keeps thorough milage records, AND his truck has had a hesitation heavy enough to jar the manual drivetrain until warmed up since it was new. (it's 7 months old). The install was easy, and we used the option that allows you to trigger the unit off of the stock coil. I thought Jacobs' choice of boot and terminal left something to be desired on the coil wire, but I will just terminate my own stuff right when that time comes. We literally taped the brain in place for our short test. We started with new autolite plugs gapped to .052, and used his stock wires. (There is a big diameter difference in the Jacobs wires) We noticed an immediate absence in the hesitation and since he drives the truck all the time, he said that he could get into the lower RPMs without lugging in a given gear. He said that the truck was no quicker, but idled great, and felt just a bit more torque. (I say ANY for the amount of work that it took to do this was amazing) HOWEVER, two weeks later after having driven the same route as usual, he found that his MPG was actually -1. Everything else but that was really positive. I'm wondering if good wires would have helped, maybe we were playing with benefits of new found power? The weather had just started to break here, temp.? A wash on MPG I could see but a loss is curious. (even though they claim a gain) We expected the results not to be staggering as we ARE talking about a newer truck as opposed to our FSJs most excellent state-of-the-art ignitions. (HA!) Well , just thought that I would throw that out there. (I'm STILL using it on the 258 and 455) Brad Feick[Back to Top]
