Multirams
« on: 11 December 2008, 17:17:27 »
The other night Mark DTM sorted out my multirams and showed me them working. Grand job he did too.  :y

So I know they were working when I left him.

Now they don't seem to be working. I think.

Can someone let me know how they work and what should happen when I blib/rev the engine.

(It might just be me)  ::)

Whats the symptoms? What makes you think they are not working? You should see then open and close with a good clip of the throttle when operated from the engine bay.

This is how to test I think:

Slowly build revs using the throttle linkage

Watch the front sections actuator

Should ping open and stay open around 3500 revs

The on on the plenum will only open under sudden full throttle.

Test the front one...let revs drop to idle then open it fully...should see the rear actuator open.

You need to 'blip' your revs to a minimum 3500rpm then you'll hear them click. Obviously you need 2 people ;D ;D ;D ;D

Edit: Ooops, didn't read all the posts..... sorry! :-[
