I figure we sorted most of this out on phone today, but I figured I post it here just in case it might helps someone else. I am at sea level for the most part. I am rolling a 15/43 on my bike at the moment. My paddles are 14 paddle exterem super lights that roll 80" on 10 psi. If you ride at Pismo alot, I think you need to stock up gearing combinations. The sand moisture content changes like crazy at that place through out the weekend.
Also to recap, I got my bike running with the PVL last night / this moring. In the higher rpm region of operation the engine fell on its face (down about 40hp). We screwed around with it for a bit on the dyno and could get it sorted out. I through the board with a Dyna/Nology setup on and the problem magically disappeared.
I have no idea what was causing the no spark issue on the PVL. I am afraid I don't have a good enough understanding of the PVL timing behavior to understand how ti fix the high rpm bog. The Dyna/Nology setup is what is going to the hill next weekend with nexto no shakedown hours on it. Hoefully, it will atleast make a few folks hollar before something breaks. :biggrin:
