300/440/550 Rev limiter needed??

[ou812]

I'm looking at removing the rev limiter on my 550. Can I just remove the whole assembly and run my return line straight back into the tank instead of through the rev limiter? Or do I need to run it through it for a restriction? I'd Like to just clean up all the fuel lines and make everything as simple as possible. I assume I would just leave the wires that go from it unhooked inside the e box?

BTW I am running a SBN 44 carb.

Someones gotta know...

yes !

Yes I need it....or yes I can remove it?

I know people unhook them, but I was wondering if I still need it as a restrictor even with the SBN44 carb?

I opend the e Box unhocked everything and sealed the 3'rd hole coming out of the e box with a brass plug from loewe's. Then removed complete return line and replaced it with a new one. I dont know anymore if I had to restrict the return line on the SBN 44 but i can recall that all jetttinf specs supplied where way to high and the ski was drowning in fuel. We ended up with 1,5 N/S and 110 Low 120 High and 95 G springopworm:

wow i`m lost what the hell do gas lines and rev limiter have in comin ? rev limiter is in ebox and gas lines go to carbs ? is this some old school rev set up ?

 

[ou812]

If I'm not mistaken it just dumps gas in the carb to bog it out when the rpms get to high.

if you just clip the wires it will disable it and still leave the restrictor in place, if you remove the rev limiter you have to add in a restritor.

Ok thanks!!

Whats the point of the restrictor in the return line though? Just to build more fuel pressure?

i installed an egi box from an earlier model that didnt have one and it seems to be working fine.
