Kugelfischer guide


Recommended Posts

Every picture and word in that guide is implanted in my brain for at least 10 years now.  You really need to know the details if you want to work on your own tii.  I highly recommend to any owner that doesn't have a complete understanding of the system to read and follow the procedures in that guide to achieve a synchronized system.

 

Then you can add an AFR and mess with the fuel (verboten) screw if you need to.

I would think an AFR should really help fine tune the K-Fish, at least that’s what I’m thinking

Can't see it from that angle.  It interacts with the Warm Up Regulator.  Ten mm hex nut around a screw with either an allen hex or a flat blade slot.

 

I can't imaging trying to do anything tuning wise with a tii without a wide band o2 sensor.

And for those of you using or installing AFR gauges and wideband sensors... don't get all wrapped up in trying for that perfect 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio. Modern fuels, yadda yadda... and winter fuels seem to make mine run leaner than summer fuels do. Adjust accordingly.

 

Some notes follow:

 

 

My own tii prefers fatter idle mixtures (12.9:1 seems to do it, and anything leaner causes a slight surge)

 

You don't want it too lean at 5000+ rpm / full throttle. Especially if you're running high comp pistons. Mine settles in at around 12.9-13.5 in that range

 

As you drive, the mixture will constantly change. Don't let it drive you crazy.

 

Set your ignition timing and valve adjustment  FIRST:

 

For a tii: 32 degrees maximum advance at 3500rpm and above. Your timing at idle will be whatever... not nearly as important for preventing engine damage! I use only the front timing marks on the pulley for this. I never bother squinting at the flywheel marks...which is way more work IMHO. 

 

make sure your distributor is actually advancing properly throughout the rpm range. You need an adjustable timing light for this. An essential tool - even if you're just double-checking your fancy whiz-bang 1-2-3 distributor. It's easy to install the 1-2-3 and still be off by a couple degrees when compared to actual ignition timing checked with a timing light! ALWAYS double check!

 

And yes....an AFR gauge is a fantastic tuning aid. I wish all 2002s had them!

I decided that mine would live in the glove box, as I was fixated on watching it, even when I was satisfied with my mixture.  It was making me crazy.

Out of sight out of mind.

I installed mine (install is a loose term here) temporarily laying on my center console, because i was CONVINCED that I'd unplug it as soon as I got the mixtures where I wanted them...That was 18 months ago...the thing is still rolling around staring at me with happy mixture numbers. "Fixated" is an apt term.... I gotta do something else with it! :D

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
