Is 14 tooth clutch sprocket and 41 tooth for rear sprocket good for top speed, acceleration, both or neither? Running it on stage 2 tillotson 212 hemi with .265 cam and no Gov and tct carb.

Got it running! It was a hose from the pulse/fuel pump that's connected to a heat shield Haha. Thanks everyone for your input and knowledge. I'm very grateful for it. Will be getting a top plate and fuel pump now from gopowersports.

FIGURED OUT THE PROBLEM It was the pulse/fuel pump.. I hooked it up the way it came, but kept the new cam in. Started right up! A friend mentioned that to me, and that was what it was. All because of a hose not connected. Now the real fun begins. Thank you for everyone trying to help me, being...

I'm so fed up with this crap! I dont get it. Set valve lash, but wont run for more than 3 seconds...

How do I adjust intake and exhaust valve timing?

I think I originally ran it stock for less than 5 minutes though...

But would .003 off cause that? Seems too small to be an issue. ---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ---------- I do not have an owners manual.

Do have feeler gauges. But can't find anything on tillotson 212 on have to set the valve lash.

Eh..kinda winged it. I talked to some people and they think it's the valve timing. With the cam it said to lash the valves to .003. But I didn't do that. Would that little bit cause something like this?

I recently bought a 212 tolillotson hemi engine, and removed govenor, installed hot .265 cam, and tct carb. It wont start but backfires and pops out of the header pipe. Anything I should look at specifically as to why it's doing this? Tips? Anything would be well appreciated!
