Re Oil:
I once did a race at Woody Creek Raceway, Aspen, CO (8000 feet) and =
could not get the car to rev over 5000 rpm. A friend diagnosed the =
problem ... got out his wire cutters and snipped the posts off the rods =
in the SU caps. Never had a problem again!=20
He about gave me a heart attack when he did it. Thing is, the purpose of =
the oil in the SUs is to retard the piston going up and down, mostly up. =
It was explained to me, you don=E2=80=99t WANT to retard the carb piston =
on a race engine. You hit the gas you want it WOT. RIGHT NOW! Street =
car, sure. Race car, no.=20
But a tip: Clean the inside of the carb, piston & cylinder, regularly. =
Before each race. Brakleen. Fuel residue will gum it up if you =

Subject: [Fot] SU oil/refurbishing race suit?
FOTs, I have two questions for the knowledgeable ones.
Do you use light oil in your SUs on your racing engines? I have =
heard both sides of this. I have not been using any oil, but have heard =
from friends I should be. =20
A number of years ago when my son-in-law started racing we sent my =
old racing suit to someone to be refurbished. It came back in great =
condition. My current suit could use some work. We lost the name of =
the company who did the work. Can anyone recommend a source for =
refurbishing my suit?
Thanks, Hank
