What's the thickest oil someone has ran in their dashpot?

People use all sorts. Dash pot oil is 20w some use ATF some 3 in 1 oil most probably use 20w50 I think |

Just as a side thought, have you tried running a higher poundage dashpot spring?

Is this on a turbo carb with the balance pipe still fitted? Going lean when going from cruising to accelerating can be caused by issues with the part throttle lean off on the carb. |

If you have a search I believe I've previously read of members using two springs, but I cannot remember the result.

I believe its a high boost spring as I'm currently running the standard yellow one, and its other one is quite a lot harder. Yes, turbo carb but I've got the balance pipe blocked off. found it was very lean with everything connected. |

The problem with using two springs is that it has two effects. It does slow down the rise of the dashpot and help to stop it leaning off, but it also changes in what position the dashpot sits when cruising at any particular throttle position i.e. the needle sits lower in the jet due to the extra spring pressure. In the short term you can fix one problem and create a new one. Edited by metroturbo on 28th Dec, 2020. |
