You can only lead a horse to water ......
whether a person changes their thinking or not is up to them.
In the end were all just consumers of fuel. I don't know anybody with a PhD in the subject or any scientists involved in the development of fuels. So everyone can read what they want and make their own decision on what is applicable to their situation.

 

I worked with quite a few of them, and had even more as business contacts in my 31 years at a major engine OEM. Aside from a few that were sort of like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory, a pretty good bunch of men and women. Some of them get a real laugh at some of the stuff posted here and the C4 section.

 

just wanna say thanks for all the info

you can continue the argument now

 

Same here Mike, too serious and boring peeps in my opinion and each one of them is right in whatever they say

I thought you moved to Ontariario ? Land of free if your a cop

 

You sir are a pro at being a word smith at calling someone an idiot without saying the words, but quite poor at understanding what people write, it is like trying to explain the meaning of life to a 3 yr old ...... I said (and read it again) it affects molecular STRUCTURE. Any time anything goes through a chemical change which is what fire is, it changes the molecular structure, same thing applies when anything goes from liquid to gas. Even heat and cold affect molecular structure. If you look at what I wrote about carboning being more prone in higher octane fuel because of the higher aromatic hydrocarbons, I will admit, I called and asked the opinion of an aquaintance who happens to be an engineer at the Ponca City Conoco refinery and that is where I got that information. He also agreed that it is indeed possible even probable that carboning could happen if ran where it should not be ran, but it also depends on metallurgy, which conicides with a research paper I read today on the internet. I edited some of my personal comments...... And by the way you always ask people for credible sources but never provide any yourself....whats up with that? I guess your cronies are OK, with you saying whatever whenever and accept it as gospel. You are always the one with the snide personal comments first that **** people off and you act so pios, or should I say pompous. I gotta stay away from here for a while before I say something that gets me banned. Im out.

 

Hey I watch that show. I really liked the time that Leonard's car broke down and when he asked the rest of the guys if they knew anything about an "internal combustion engine" they all talked about how old the technology was but when he asked if any of them knew how to fix one the reply by all was "no idea". Basic working knowledge and common sense usually works best for the average individual. My .02

 

Agree. I have a 1976 with 9:1 and I run 91 in it, but really it would probably be just fine on 87. My 1970 has 11:1 comp and it runs fine for the most part on 91 too...though I try for straight gas rather than ethanol blends.

 

We'll be in the new place by Sept. 30th or so. I'm not looking forward to having all the cars and bikes replated. It's going to kill me to put a front plate on the '73.

 

 

Dosen't matter you will get carbon deposits no matter what. I really miss the terethel lead in gasoline when the tailpipes were light powder grey and at wot at around 30 in top gear(manual xmission) there was just a slight ping engine was set up right. those were the good old days.

 

So here's a little update, I filled up with 91 at BP. The two times I shut it off after that it ran for about 3 more seconds before it shut down. What could cause that? Before I filled up it shut down immediately, and I'm assuming it was 93 octane in there.

Personally I am more inclined to believe that run-on or dieseling is caused by something getting to hot in the combustion chamber and causing further running after shut down as apposed to excessive throttle plate angle. Not that throttle plate angle wouldn't contribute to the issue, but there still has to be a source of ignition independent of the spark plug.
So, too lean, too much spark advance, carbon deposits, plugs too hot etc. It will take some effort and time to figure out what is exactly causing the engine to run hot.
I do not have a lot of experience with these engines in fact practically none, but I have spent much time with engines of all sorts and all are similar yet have different specific tendencies or personalities if you will depending on what has been done to them.
There are folks on here who have decades of experience however, and they have the experience that can probably narrow it down quickly for you.

 

Is the anti-dieseling solenoid in place, operational and properly adjusted?

 

Well, I'm not sure where that is. But if it was fine before I filled up, could that still be it?
