This was my first trip out with the new motor. Dan had set up my 35mm carbs with 50 pilots, CEL Needles and 160 mains this was with my cpi pipes. After some fitting issues with the stingers i decided to go with the shearers and 39mm pwks. I went with Dan and Patriot eventhough he is in Washington and am in SoCal because of their reputation and customer service. I was tired of the treatment from Trinity. I'll give Dan a call and see what he says. I really don't want to ship my motor back and end riding season early.

I just got back from glamis and I am still having issues. With a 50 pilot CEL needle and 165 main the plugs looked good but after about 10 min of riding the bike would overheat. I richened up the pilot all the way up to 60 with a DGH needle and 180 main (according to Jeff at FAST) and the plugs were rich but the overheating continued. I have an oversized radiator, billet impellar, running engine ice etc. The bike wasnt just running hot it continued to climb in temp. I lowered the timing checked everything i could think of and the problem percisted. I cant wait to get this thing running properly the power these cubs put out is unbelieveable.

I do a 50/50 mix of Drag/Dune. Nothing too long and i do already have the dual Pingel petcock so hopefully lack of fuel won't be an issue. I'm running a 50 pilot and a CEL needle. I have had suggestions from 2 builders on this site. one said 165 should be on and the other said 180. i just wanted to get a few more opinions on a start so I'm not spending all day on Sat changing jets.

I just wanted a few opinions on a starting point for my 7mil cub. I'll be doing all of my riding at glamis (Sea level with temps in the 70s). My mods are as follows: 443 cub drag ported, Shearer small bore inframe pipes, 39mm PWK, VF3 reeds, running vp c12 w/amsoil 50:1. thanks for the help.

I am in the final steps of my 7mil cub build and I wanted to get a few opinions. My current setup consists of a Patriot Racing 7mil drag ported cub with 35mm pwk carbs, VF 3's and cpi small bore pipes. Would it be worth the price to upgrade to BB pipes and 39mm pwk carbs? I mostly dune ride with a good mix of hill shooting at Glamis. Thanks for the help.

I'm running a +4 with my current set up and have had no issues keeping the front down on hard launches. Although this could be a different story with the new cub motor.

I figured I would ask the pros before I bite the bullet. I am expecting my new 7 mil cub motor shortly and I am wondering if it is worth the money to upgrade to new tires. My current motor is drag port and polished with cpi inframes and 35mm pwk on c-12. I am running Skat-trak extreme 20x10x10 9 paddle extremes on red lables. I it worth upgrading to the skat-trak 21x12x8 10 paddle extremes? I do about 50/50 dune and drag. I had no problems turning my 9 paddles with my current set up and I was wondering if my new motor will overpower them. thanks for the help.
