I did some fiddling with the gear shift power settings for 1st and 2nd by taking them all to zero. I set the rpm start to zero as well so I could test with the engine off. I set 3rd 4th and 5th gears to the same power ramps. And when i activated the switch nothing flowed until the 5th activation? Then I realised that there is a 1 second gear shift reset so quickly flicking the microswitch may not have worked DOH!! By this time we were almost at the front of the queue to race so I quickly set 1st and 2nd gears to 50% start with a 1.3 second build to the full 100hp shot and left the other gear settings where they were?
The result was pleasing I would say
A 1.5 second 60 foot an an 11.7 for the Mini Van with the controller not properly set. Mick hot lapped and came back for more so I tweaked 3rd gear to the same as 1st and 2nd and then set 4th gear for an 80% start with a 1 second build. The run was awsome but as he hit 4th gear it ran for about 2 seconds and then we could hear the revs climb as the clutch started to slip
So its slipping the clutch now. So what! It means that the power is coming in ok !!
Mick thinks it may be the slave cylinder adjuster rod which comes loose and unscrews to make it longer as it has done this before. If not he will need to fit a better clutch if he wants to go quicker at Retro Show in a months time
This was our first test run with an 80 shot with all gears set to 50% start and a 1.4 second build time
I'm still waiting for Mick to upload the 11.7 vid to Youtube ??
