hey guys, I have a new motor set up on alky
running KSE tandem with bypass blocked off with the kse regulator and return on the back of the log.
Reg came standard with a 76 jet.

I set my race pressure at 9psi, but my idle pressure is .5psi.
KSE doesnt have any set guideline for the idle jet like they do with the pressure screw(1/8 turn = 1 psi)

so my question, does anyone have a recommendation on what size to jump down to? or does it even matter as long as it idles and i have fuel when i press the long pedal?

I wouldn't worry about idle unless you have a stumble or something. What kind of pressure does it have about 3500-4000? A lot of guys power steering hardly works with those KSE's in the pits because of the ratio of the pulleys but is fine on the track.

idle psi doesnt matter, you want it low

9 is good at 3k you should be good to go
