FDC question again. Sorry

[jfnemt1ff1]

Hi all while today I bypassed my fdc,per the past posts. Turned out fine not hard at all. I have done alot of work on the M725 and the Gama Goat but just starting to get my feet wet. The truck seams to have more power and runs fine. The question is that on take off and under load there is a good amount of black smoke . Going down the road at steddy speed the smoke goes away. I have not yet did any adjustment of the two little nuts and they still safty wired together.It is a no turbo (want to change that soon like the sound of the wissler) At that time I will add the boost gage along with the etg. But in the mean time is this ok or should I make some other adjustments.

It's okay John, the non-turbo will smoke...a lot. The turbo will take care of the problem and give you a little extra power.

OK thanks alot I was hoping that was the problem.

I would put a EGT gauge on it ASAP.Now with all this new found fuel,it will have much hotter Exhaust Temps and could cause major damage.

I wouldnt worry about that too much, shouldnt be adding that much fuel. you could turn it down a little if you feel worried.

Question.Do you have to purchase any new parts or is this just a remove a part here,replace it with a part from there,install the first part here and fire it up type deal?

Anyone have a good place to get the ETG and boost gauge. I might as well get it now and just leave the boost unhooked at least they will match.

Here is the set I bought. The boost gauge is mechanical (also available in 30 psi), the pyro is electric. You can order a SCR to run the pyro on 24v and 24V bulbs directly from ISSPRO. I have the gauges installed and working but don't have the bulbs wired up yet. Before I do that I'll "paint" the bulbs with a red marker (per ISSPRO tech support) for red backlighting. The gauge box was bought from another SS member.

Should have located the "Low Air Pressure" decal closer to the light though.
