New engine was installed and it ran perfectly while cruising but at high revs WOT would lose HP. So back to the dyno A/F was perfect until WOT high RPM then it would go lean (instead of the proper 12/1 it would show 16 or 17/1!). PCV adjustment made no difference. So we checked fuel pressure and as expected the fuel pressure dropped as revs climbed meaning plugged fuel filter/ defective fuel pump. Don tried a new filter and fuel pressure still dropped at high revs, then he sprung for a new in-tank fuel pump and all is perfect now. So that tired $350 fuel pump cost him a $5000 engine repair. Moral of this story--if your EFI engine begins to lose power at high revs CHECK THE FUEL PRESSURE. 5/24 Mike Zacher CRF450 and CRF100 Flattrackers (CycleDyn) 5/24 Brian Neuman CRF450 Flattracker (CycleDyn) 5/24 Wade Blood Kawasaki Vulcan PCV tune (CycleDyn) 5/27 Neil Jacobs tuning 107 cubic inch 280hp Kaw Pro Stock dragbike on the 902 shaft dyno 5/28 Frank Burns H-D VRod big bore PCV tune (CycleDyn) 6/1 Dave Wells tuning CRF450 with Ron Jewell mod (CycleDyn) 6/9 Al Rowcliff CRF450 with Ron Jewell head (CycleDyn) 6/9 Frankie Amalfi and Yammigod Tony Yam SRX700 asphalt racer 6/13 Bill Woodley TC88 PCIII tune (CycleDyn) 6/23 AJ Frank using 902 shaft dyno to tune his trail mod Banshee 350 quad 6/24 Aaron Mucher Yamaha FZ1 PCV tune (CycleDyn) 6/25 Jerry Jankowski Honda Blackbird Turbo carb tune (CycleDyn) 7/1 Brad Crocker setting up his Bender Pol 600 mod engine for H2Ocross racing 7/21 Keith Crowell Yamaha R6S streetbike PCV tune (CycleDyn) 7/28 Jake Lehnen searching for power with his SkiDoo RS600 hilldrag sled 8/2 Pat Kitchen again with 1500 triple Joe D engine 8/3-8/30 intermittent private testing cameras off 8/31 Tim Tyler Polaris 800 twin drag engine
