I'm trying to get everything together for the trip to Iowa, and I'm down to troubleshooting a performance issue.
I'm running four wheel discs. The temperature of the disc's after a short trip on the interstate tonight are: (from the handy-dandy HF IR thermometer)
Rear - 450
Middle - 357
Fronts - 207
That was not immediately after braking, but after I drove the coach home and parked it.
I have the mechanical line lock to provide for parking brake (from JimK). I'm pretty certain its dis-engaging (but will double check it again tomorrow).
I checked the choke to make certain it's letting the secondaries on the Q-Jet open. (Last time I did anything serious with a Q-Jet, Jimmy Carter was President) It's properly adjusted.
I'll run it with the engine cover open tomorrow and visually check that the secondaries are opening.
I'm also going to put a fuel pressure gauge inline and see what kind of pressure is present at the inlet to the carb.
That leaves timing to look at, and it might have to invest in a timing light.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Are those brake disc temperatures indicative of a problem.
Any thoughts and help would be appreciated.
Dolph
