^ That’s a good start. But seeing the damage is how you figure out what happened. Is the ring melty and bent, or cracked clean and twisted? What does the edge of the piston crown just above the ring look like, etc.

I’m curious how you can tune Lectrons, but don’t know where to go on the other stuff you’re jetting? Usually it’s the opposite for many folks. They can tune the normal Mikuni sand Keihin carbs but don’t know what to do with a Lectron. Knowledge like that puts you a leg up.

I believe FMF has them on their site.

If you don’t have the space to do a plug chop properly, just do a little studying on how to read the base ring and electrode. At this point you’re just cutting up plugs looking for a result you won’t get properly without running 6th wide open. Sure it’s nice to know there is a perfect ring inside the plug on the porcelain, but there are plenty of other ways to read a plug with out chopping them. If you’re adamant that you want a smoke ring, you’ll need to find the space to do it right.

Any photos?

Motors can certainly run on that tight of a squish, but I’d be leary of running a pump gas motor at .040 . Typically the tightest you see pump gas at is .050 plus. .045 at the minimum, but be conservative on the timing.

Go 21’s if you wanna be on pump fuel. 19cc’s are typically showing much more compression then that. I’d suspect that there is some pretty thick gaskets in that set up or the gauge is a bit off. Potted motors can read much lower when comp testing, but it sounded like your’s is kind of mild. What was squish on the motor?

I’m appalled at the leave it in the crate remarks. If you wanna ride, put it together with fresh fluids, lube everything, do a leak down on the motor, dialectric grease all the electrical, adjust the pick up gap, and ride the shit out of it! The only reason to leave it in the crate would be to sell it and rape someone looking for a cherry new bike in a crate. Otherwise, ride it!

Wait... .040-.045 (that’s what those mm numbers are about) squish for pump gas?! And the builder said run it? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Ya, dickelz/picklez did. G4C was just a custo I believe. That was one of my favorite eras here. Shit was hoppin. People were talking lots of shit. New products galore. Lotta cool builds were posted here before FB got huge. Matt was still around here making people want to kill us or them selves. Hell, even you were almost still relavant. 🤣

Check all of the above. ^ Ricky, ricks, or RM stator? Check the pick up gap. That’s the sensor to the flywheel tabs. Check the spark plug boots and make sure the end of the wire is also good. Do the spark plugs have solid tops or do they have that bull shit twist on top?

There is always going to be folks interested, however nobody will be serious till they see a set actually done.

It would definitely be about the same jetting. It’s possible you’ll be better off with the 27.5’s and maybe even 270 mains, but definitely start fatter with the 280.

Did you visually verify that the carbs are opening all the way with the filters off? Some of the twist throttles require the longer adjusters on the carb tops. It’s also possible the jetting needs to be sorted out to have full power as well.

They can be made to work, I believe you have to shorten the silencers from the front side of the can. But why go through all the trouble?

With a motor set up like that you’re kind of at the limit of what a stock style clutch can hold on to. There are 8 plate options, but the cheaper quicker option would be to just do a lock up. Finger style if you’re a drag racer, sling shot if your running anything else imo.

I know it’s an old post, but if you still want a Sundahl bumper, I’ve got one I’d sell ya.

Pod filters or an airbox? No other engine mods, head work, or timing plate/key?

Seems like more folks are on FB to talk about red bull Vs monster color schemes.

🖕😂🖕

Friggin’ send it!

Best sound and it lasts quite a while.

Smoke, eh? Better stick to reading plugs if you want yours to live. To be honest after you learn how to tune a motor, you’ll see that chopping plugs is kind of not needed either. There is a wealth of info to be had just by looking at the end of a plug.

To make sure you don’t have the same issue that the OP did, you don’t have an adjustable timing plate behind the Stator do ya? If so, it needs to be set at zero while you run the Dyna curves.
