I put my plugs and wires in last week, and put in my 100 shot pills. After I changed my oil yesterday I decided to go spray a few times. I was cruising at around 60 in fourth, and dropped it. Pow, took about a second for the nitrous to hit and then I was off. After around a 1000rpm increase I felt the power drop off, I shifted...floored it and the same thing happened, mad power than a drop off. I did two runs one like this and one from a 20ish roll, and the same thing occured on both. The power didnt cut off completely but it definatly wasnt hitting 100 shot. Could this be related to low bottle pressure? I am installing my remote guage & msd ws this afternoon so I will better be able to judge that. But does this sound like a bottle pressure issue. BTW, I havnt used the bottle since June/July of last year, and then it was at 75 shot. Also, for referance I havnt installed my fpss yet.

If I am thinking correctly it seems like I have good pressure right before I spray, and after I start spraying the pressure drops. I have only sprayed 3 full runs @ 75 shot and now 2 incomplete runs @ 100 shot. I dont think I am running low on my bottle (10 lbs), but maybe. Can someone please give me some insight on this.

Thanks

No gauge, no blanket, no weight it's hard to pin point, but I'd say your on the right track. Weigh the bottle then you'll know.

 

forgot to mention that I do have a bottle heater. It was in the high 70's low 80's yesterday, so I wonder if the bottle pressure would have been where it needed to be? what should the weight of the bottle be to know how much I have left?

mike why don't you ever just contact me or jimmy to get you straightened out?

 

Jimmy said it was probably a bottle pressure issue, either that or that because the bottle has sat for 6 months without being used, it may have slowly leaked out. I think it was just a pressure problem which will be worked out monday when Edison and I put the pressure guage on. I dont have a reason why I never contact yall, I just have so much **** I have been doing lately. Plus I cant really come out and go places (till the end of may anyway), I try not to drive as much as possible. BTW, I think I am about to drop 3 grand into my car (or buy my borthers bike), and I will need some help to decide what to do.

 

definetely put the money in the car. you're like me and jimmy to damn big for 2 wheels. why don't you come to the track sat. it will be the first time out for me to do some shakedown runs with the new motor.

 

It's important to have a nitrous guage, then youll know if ur losing pressure. It would be hard to pinpoint.

Before u spray next do this: I always have 2 10 LB bottles filled at the same time, i go home, put them in the sink of hot water for a few minutes, ur ready to ride.

I also have bottle pressure guages so i keep an eye on bottle pressure while theyre in the sink.
