Injector issues...

[JimAnderson]

i have been doing some test'in with the boat and had installed a endirly injector thinking this was the way to go. but after several near launches to the moon and several near misses swimming with the fishes i have decided to switch to a more, should we say user friendly (pussy foot) injector. i believe they used this type on the Adams family luxury cruiser. it's called a hilborne 4 holler. they say it's alot easier to drive,and is family friendly, does anyone have any info on these.

Scott are you really thinking of going "K" racing again???. If so that Hilborn hat would be more to you liking. Easier on throttle response, and if you turn the hat backwards you won't have to worry about the flames getting to you if she backfires, unlike the "SS" boat. :rollside:

I don't have any problems taking off slow or running my boat at any given RPM with my bug catcher. Maybe you just don't have your linkage set-up correctly?

My linkage is set up to quality specifications. It has a quick release ball joint and everything. It is just to dang aggressive on the take off and the midrange. I am not running a girly bug catcher, I run a manly birdcatcher. On my Superstock boat I run a carburetor so it is way easier. It is for sale by the way. It is the SS126.

Ha - lmfao. Nice try Jerry/Jim Anderson. You know 126 is a hard-earned war trophy. :crossx:

A bird catcher is easier to tune than a bug catcher because the seat area around the butterflies are machine deeper. Maybe you should just stick with making taco's since you don't know how to throttle a boat.

I love when f'n know it all morons, like THE CABLE GUY that only have 8 posts, criticize members, not knowing the facts. So T.C.G. let me school you sense you don't know shit!! This is why companies like BDS use the bird catcher on their EFI units. And if you still think I don't know what I'm talking about try calling Ralph Gore fuel injection in Lake Forest Ca, and ask him. He is the one that showed this to me.
In diagram A, below the machine surface on a Bird Catcher extends deeper into the hat.

In diagram B on the Bug Catcher the surface drops off in to the casting, so as soon as the top side off the bug catchers butterflies get to that point it will flow more air then the Bird Catcher. This makes for a quicker transition from low RPM's to to higher RPM's, and it also gives you less resolution in the throttle at lower RPM's.
