Power Valve Question

Power Valve Question - HELP

1st. off lol, listen to what you are saying, you qouted, a plug should cause a lean condition at ANY time the PV would be in the closed position, but then you say, Increasing the jets will cause a RICH condition at low throttle settings LOL, But you qoute, the PV should not affect the idle curcuit, but its the same as plugged & the reason they incorperated one is to increase driveability. All your doing is confirming what i said. You need to do more research on carbs before making statements, The PV is there for reason, If it "did not" have any bareing on idle, there would be no reason for installing one, just run the jet you need & be done "because" like you stated it has no bareing on idle quality, I won't say no more, you abviously no ALL the ins/outs & carb building hum, I'll just sit back & learn LOL!!

You are not making any sense at all, Please try to answer my points, you said:

Of course it will. If you take a carb that was operating CORRECTLY, plug the PV, and jet for full power, you have to go richer IN THE LOWER POWER/ RPM ranges because NORMALLY the PV would have been CLOSED during this time, and running with the stock LEANER jets. Now, when cruising at high vacuum/ low power settings, the carb MUST go rich because of the richer jets. Normally, you'd have leaner jets and a closed PV

You are confusing two points. A plugged PV should idle EXACTLY the same as a properly operating PV which is CLOSED at idle.

The drivability point was in reference to rejetting the carb. You can NOT plug a power valve and then rejet the carb so it acts the same through all power settings --the very reason the PV was put there to start with

If you really want to start another ridiculous name calling thread, go ahead. I am NOT confirming what you said. If you can point to ACTUAL research that refutes anything I've said, I'll be happy to read it

A PROPERLY operating PV should NOT have a bearing on idle quality because IT SHOULD BE CLOSED at idle speeds. This is a well documented fact, in any book written by and four Holley or any other carb.

HOW DOES "running any jet" change idle quality?
