British Leyland over came all this pretty easy when they turbocharged the A series engine in the Metro Turbo. They used the standard butterfly controlled constant depression carburetor.. aka An S.U. carb. (Skinners union) and all they did to pressurise the fuel bowl was to bolt a plenum to the front of the carb, that had a restrictor in the outlet certain size Smaller than the bore of the choke in the carb. They had a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator an electric fuel pump and that was it for fuelling, oh and correct fuel metering needle. I personally have turbocharged other engines in exactly the same way, even using non turbo specific S.U carbs and converting them to blow through spec. Granted I've not tried one on a two smoke yet but the principles are exactly the same. That carb you are using is so modified now that nothing is in spec and you end up just chasing the same problems around by changing or adding something else to it that fixes one problem and creates another. I really want this to work for you, but I think you need to go back to simplicity on the carb setup.

[@OldestYoungenInGuidePost]

My friend at 17 (2001) got a purple 1.3 MG metro turbo, which had some really nice parts on,. White oz racing rally wheels 15”,red seatbelts Momo steering wheel, tinted windows, it had a straight through exhaust to a big boar 4 tail pipe and a k&n intake that was nearly a quarter of the size of the engine space 😂, it had on some other parts from a MG maestro 🤔 It was at the time a great car 😂 it was the first car I’d seen that could produce flames 🔥 from the exhaust and it made a fantastic raspy noise when redlining it and letting off the throttle and changing gear (4 speed) it would do about 105mph and we used to think that was fast back in the day 😂😂 He only had it for 3-4 months and it was stolen 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@pebrede]

In the 1960’s Studerbaker supercharged their Lark and Hawk’s engines with a Paxton belt driven centrifugal supercharger, in a blow through configuration. They could not get it to work on boost until they put though whole carburetor inside a pressure pot. The prototype setup was the entire carburetor in a food pressure cooker with pass throughs for fuel and control cables, and a port for boosted air entry, a side entry with a baffle to reduce turbulence was the final configuration, from memory. Fuel pump was mechanical diaphragm pump with an atmospheric vent port hooked up to the pressure pot to provide fuel pressure above boost pressure in a controlled fashion. Production was a split alloy casting that did not require a hole in the bonnet/hood.😊 They tried all sorts of pressurization/pressure equalization paths prior to the “pot” without success as leaks in fluid paths and flow instability were not controllable. What’s old is new. Hot Rod magazines of the period had some excellent write ups on this and many other now new/modern innovations. The wheel has been invented, no need to try and do it again. Take care and play safe

[@trcxsa]

The venturi in the carb causes the suction for the fuel. Boost referencing the float bowl to static pressure should help but will need to be done at a diameter close to the carb diameter. In the big tube leading up to the carb the static pressure is higher than at the front of the carb as the air is traveling slower. ( You essentially have 2 venturi's with that intake setup)

[@johnpezaris6982]

It sounds like the reed valve servo could be engaged earlier, maybe? I thought the engine was bogging a little at 8K. Also, it's worth adding hysteresis to the controller if you can: engage the servo at 8K (or whatever threshold you select) but disengage only when the RPM drops substantially below that (e.g., 7k) so that the slide doesn't flutter. I keep thinking back to the roots compressor and how effortlessly the engine started with that supercharger. Although you haven't dialed in this setup yet, it feels more sluggish with the turbo lag and doesn't appear to be making as much power. Maybe keep in mind the possibility of going back to a roots blower, but make sure the blow-off valve works during backfires so that you don't damage your blower again.

[@nontasanastasios7612]

ive been following this project since almost the begging. Didnt think much of it but i love 2 strokes, although impractical for me in real life. Mostly due to the smell after you rode one. Best two stroke i had was a Cagiva K7 back in the day. 125cc 7speed transmission, was smoking 600 XRs at top speed earning some good bets. Anyway, watching you, overtaking problems with your engine became my fetish! Long and hard hours at work, real life commitments, always liked it when you posted a new video.

If you still have issues with the slide in the carb sticking and you have enough material to mill a couple of slots, PTFE bronze or graphite filled strips can be added to lower the coeffcient of friction. You can get these from a hydraulic supply house in several thicknesses and widths. Methanol and nitromethane resistance is excellent.

[@lionelcook8522]

Great work Alex, regardless of the next step, your engine is sounding the best it ever has.

[@jamesalbanito1317]

The sticking carb slide could be excessive pressure (boost) from the supercharger pushing on one side of the slide. If you had an equalizing passage that could be drilled/milled into the entry that diverts some pressure to the low pressure side of the slide guides, it could allow the slide to 'float' better. Even a tube from the charge pipe to the low pressure side of the slide guides would maybe help. Due to the massive pressure differential, the slide is getting pushed hard against the low pressure side. Just a thought since you are usually on top of everything effecting this amazing engine. It's possible this type of arrangement could bypass some of the boost behind the venturi, causing a signal discrepancy for the fuel mixture. This could be compensated with the power valves possibly.

[@youtubeurevil]

i also expect that i think carb splitting will solve most of this problem

[@2STROKESTUFFING]

Piped a line to the carb "hat" from the intake last video, and now push pull. It's revving down slowly even with the slide closed, probably air being pushed around it.

Is the fuel running back into the bowl from the tubes causing a high fuel level or overly rich condition?

I used to run an Lectron carb on my KTM 300. The idea of the two numbers on each metering rod to give you a high and low mixture strength reading is a great idea in theory but when I spoke to a metering rod supplier, he said that in practice the numbers just do not work in the real world! This makes this system totally useless so I'm not surprised that you are having problems! At small throttle openings I was able to detect that difference in AFR with just 1/4 turn of the rod, I guess that an alky burning engine is not quite so fuzzy but even so you need to make small changes to the height of the rod once you get into the ball park. I must admit that I was not all that impressed with the build quality of the carb, I now use a different setup.

What do you do my dudes? I run a 5 axis grob cnc making rear axels for scania. Kind of a headache when its brand new

[@jdsstegman]

Yeah, there is a problem from going off the venturi effect to a pressure effect. Your diagnosis is spot on. I understand your method. At some point in the intake pressure your power jets will not work like they should because they rely on the venturi to have air drawn past them instead of pushed by them..... you may need to have a type of metering rod on your torpedo tube. Skidoo and sled manufacturers use vacuum or pressure system in the float bowls to change fuel for altitude compensation in their older carburetored snowmobiles. They way they change bowl pressure or vacuum to essentially change jetting mixtures. This may be a solution to your jetting issues......

[@lumotroph]

[@Barthoization]

damn, you have come a looong way from pouring your own cilinder to this. Way to go.

[@chrispy1965]

It is not about sucking in the air. The innerdiameter in the middle of the carb a bit less then the entrance and outlet side. That gives a acceleration off the airmass. And that is what creates the difference in airpressure.

[@skipjack996]

Try boost pressure on the top of the slide to equalize the pressure

All my motorcycles have slide carburetors. They’re vintage now from the mid-80’s and I treat them delicately.

[@thejohnnybob]

Pitot, or dynamic pressure is used in aviation to help determine airspeed, but also in engine fuel systems to compensate for forced air flow like a supercharger on this engine or a jet engine at speed in flight. Jet engines use compensation bellows to essentially squirt more fuel into the combustion chambers for a given throttle position and inlet air pressure.

An ice cube makes smoothing out epoxy so easy that it shouldn't be allowed. Water on your finger works just about as good. The ice cube on a flat surface done at the perfect time during set-up almost makes for a ""NO SANDING"" repair job, just takes some practice to figure out & know how long to wait before doing any extra working with & flattening of the epoxy. Holding it ""UP"" when doing a repair on the full gravity down side with ""DUCT TAPE"" works awesome +++ you can work the epoxy through the tape after it gets harder with a flat tool or your hand & fingers to help with the finished shape, let it set-up and dry, remove tape and finish shaping!!

Nice segue into the sponsor promotion.

[@zuzanajendralova8087]

Just thinking out loud. By removing the pitot tube you might end up with only positive pressure resulting with zero fuel from the jet? Perhaps relocating the carb to the turbo inlet? Your throttle response issues, could be due to the case/ducting volume. Retaining pressure/mix. By reducing the length/diameter of the ducting you could find a swifter response. Like wise with throttling up, less volume= quicker response. Kind of like driving an old 911 turbo, you need to think way ahead when your in boost. Foot off the throttle, car continues thrusting forward due to lingering pressure/mix. Awesome as always thanks for the content.

For various types of electrical connections, you can make a few different tools, using broken hacksaw blades. Measure the width of the gap in the female (rear side of the connector.)
