The red cam in pos 1 is just short of the orange cam in pos 1.

Nothing wrong with the red cam if it suits the engine tune.



The white cam is the smallest in delivery at any change in throttle angle.

NO, i just explained it wrong. At the bottom of the nozzle/squirter is a small ? 1/4" gasket. it's torn. pump diaphragm is fine.

I've used that red cam for years, and the car ran great. I'll bet it's either the torn gasket or the vent rod was bent sl. out of whack. thanx. s
