Located under the choke flap, the accelerator pump nozzle has two calibrated holes which discharge the fuel into the venturii. The Street Demon™ comes with a .031” discharge nozzle from the factory. If more fuel is needed, a larger discharge nozzle can be used. If less fuel is needed, a smaller discharge nozzle may be used.
Steady State Cruise Tuning Earlier, the theory of how the main metering system works was explained. During steady state cruising, there is enough vacuum to overcome the step-up spring tension so the rod is in the down position and the lean step is in the jet. It is best to drive the vehicle at a steady state and record the AFR or vacuum gauge reading in 10 MPH increments.
Tuning for Elevation Street Demon™ carburetors are calibrated at sea level. When going up in elevation, the air is thinner and the carburetor may run rich. As a general rule of thumb, for every 2,000 ft. in elevation, the metering rod diameter should be increased .002”...
