An ideal ratic or the average engine with 2 mezinun boos: of 7.0 p.s.i, would be roximately 8.0 : 1. For those wishing to further improve the performance and efficiency of heir supercharged engine, aodifications zo the cylinder head will be one the first essentials. IGNITION SETTING For most road installations, a static ignition setting of 7°-10° advance will prove most satisfactory, but as engines vary final adjustments should be made after road testing. For certain engines we supply a limiting bush with the supercharger installation to fit over the bob-weight stop peg to limit maximum advance. Where @ bush is not supplied it is generally necessary to limit maximus distributor advance, this is equally important on road or competition engines, The vacuum advance pipe is normally disconnected.

Most Stage 2 of half race camshafts are suitable for improving the performance of the supercharged engine. EXHAUST ALL supercharged engines will benefit to @ large extent from the fitting of bigger bore free flow exhaust manifolds and systens, allowing the engine which is handling a far greater quantity of ges vhen supercharges to get rid of this additional gas flow. By reducing or elininating the exhaust back pressure the engine will run cooler, and therefore produce more power. CYLINDER HEADS As previously mentioned, many engines will benefit from a reduction in compression ration, which can be achieved by modifying the combustion chamber and or changing the pistons for a low compression set, depending on the design of the engine. Generally more emphasis should be put on improving the flow through the exhaust ports than would be with a normally aspirated engine. However, it is wrong to ignore the induction side now that this is under pressure. Sul. CARBCRETTOR thes close the throzt until the face of the se: the screx 14 turns.

Dering this adjustsent it is necessary to ensure that the jet is pressed upwards and is in contact sith its adju; As the mixture is adjusted the engine will probably run fasce: therefore be necessary to unscres the throttle adjusting screw 2 in order to reduce the speed. Bow check the mixture by lifting the carburettor piston (by Lift pin situated on the side of the carburettor body) by approxizacely | (.75em) when if:— (a) the engine speed increases and continues to run faster, this indicates that the mixture is too rich. (b) the engine speed imediately decreases, this indicates that the mixture is too weak. (c)_ the engine speed momentarily increases very slightly, this indicates that the mixture is correct. When the mixture is correct the exhaust note should be regular and even. If it is irregular with a splashy type of misfire and colourless exhaust, the mixture is too weak. If there is a regular or rythmical type of misfire, together with a blackish exhaust, then the mixture is too rich. N.B, I= is alvays best to err on this rich side rather than set the carburettor weak.
