Hey you guys. I wasn't quite sure were I should post this so Mod's if you need to move it go ahead.
I was talking to an "old timer" at my church and he was telling me what they use to do "back in the day". He said that they would run the carb a little rich. They would then wire a switch to a spark plug that was set inside the end of the exaust pipe. He said that when he would push the swith it would should flames. Kinda like the autoloc flame thrower. I was thinking of pros and cons and here's what I came up with.
Cons:
Gas mileage goes down
Illegal (if caught)
Pros:
Really cool lookin'
When the peeps at school make fun of my "old school whip" I shoot the flames and then they would be like what the heck.
I really wanted to try it just to try it. Didn't figure it would be that hard and seemed pretty inexpensive mod.
Here are my questions:
First how do you run our carbs rich? Do you take the black thing off and then take a phillips head and turn it?
If so which way do you turn it to go rich?
The second is when I run the wire to the back is there one side that I should run it on. I ask because when I was talking about wiring my amps they said to wire it opposite of the main power line. Should I do this also?
Thanks for your responses.
