Barrel vavle

Im having troubles with my Barrel vavle leaking by the linkage and im thinking the orings are bad, So i put new in and it still likes Im thinking of getting a new barrel vavle with idle and stageing control or is the K-Style worth the money

any info/advice

 

Check the shaft of your spool for corrosion pitting.
If so you can buy a new spool for your setup instead of a complete new barrel valve assembly.
If you must buy a new barrel valve I sure like my new Ralph Gorr one.

I have that problem every spring. It seems sitting over the winter the o-rings shrink,but after the motor runs for awhile ,they quit leaking.

Yes i always did that but for some reason its leaking badly so i think im going to buy a new barrel vavle and keep this one for a spare.

Also Is there any guys who run two pumps One for burn out and one just for the run? My engine builder thinks i should do that so i might think into it

any info?

 

I have used o-rings from a transmission rebuild kit. I believe it was a mid 80s Chevy S-10 trans kit. They have a blue/green coating on them which eventually washes off. They work and I have found them at 2 different transmission shops.
Blue Chip car-6/7 years (I can't even remember the last time I looked at it)
Florence dragster-4 years
Jay Blake's car 3 years
Never a leak from the o-rings.
The Blue Chip car sits for long periods of time yet does not leak at first fire up.

Will, maybe ATC could come up with a part #.

 

Barrel Valve

We Do Carry Both Parts Piston 67.50 And O-ring Kit 5.95 Probaly A Good Idea To Get A Spare On When Ordering. I Like The Idea Of The Tranny O-rings Did They Let You Buy Just The O-rings Or Did You Have To Buy The Whole Kit.

 

Actually both trans shops just gave me a few at no charge. When I can get a hold of the guy I know at one shop I will see if he remembers what they were.
It was quite a while ago.

why in the world would you need a different pump for the burnout than the run. sounds like a big mess to me. any pump that is good enough for a full run is more than enough pump for a burn out.

Not to mention that it would take more H/P to run two pumps.

 

I typed that down wrong sorry, Heres how it went My dragster is running very rich at idle and i have to burp the trottle right before i burn out to get all the extra fuel out of the cylinders, and my idle is very high I set it like that so it would not shut off. A guy told me to run two differn't pumps and my Engine builder said i should run a two stage fuel system to stop the high idle and being very rich at idle. So how would I run this? /setup/ I seen Fuel cars running vavles to control the pressure?

Any body have info on that



and I ordered a new Barrel vavle and the Orings, brass washer. So I will just change over my stuff and keep the leaky one for a spare parts

 

I will try that, Also would a lean out or air operated vavle keep the amount of fuel from going in while doing a burn out and idle
