Hi,
how do you measure booster signal in relation to test pressure ? All air bleeds closed ? From the main jet feed ?
What would you consider "good" signal strength for 10" test pressure, no specific carburetor brand or model ?
I'd like to make comparisons between different secondary booster and main throat combinations on
Weber downdraft carburetors, individual runner setup. Any general testing tips, I'm new to carb testing.
Thanks,
Pekka
Question to carb tuners, booster signal ?

I guess it depends on what you are after. I measure the booster itself to compare different boosters. What happens when you add emulsion and fuel will change things, but I can see which booster signals better.

Re: Question to carb tuners, booster signal ?
Just to understand how you guys are measuring booster signal, I take a carb jet and solder a small brass tube to it and hook the velocity probe from my flow bench the get a number on how hard the venture pulls on the jet. I have never seen any number from anybody else. I race a Chrysler in NSS so I mainly work with my AFB's
