do you know your exhaust port height? it's more about a safe compression ratio. mabey the birthday boy will chime in with the right ratio off the top of his head. if you do a search, i believe someone had a link to the calculator

nope, i'v known my fair share of amsiol salesmen, though, and i got turned off by a product that doesn't sell itself. just the way i am, otherwise, i'm sure i would've tried it. i have run several different oils over the years, though. like i said, just my opinion, and you can do what you want. just threw a little red flag, going from a high deposit oil, to a high detergent oil. the deposits don't get controlled like a 4 stroke when they come off.

don't forget some dual stage reeds. really picked up the low-mid and pretty much flattened the whole power curve. no moe light switch

bwahahahahaha. that's a gokart track. the banshee would eat it alive- stock. don't think it would be any fun at all on a bike. well.. mabey on a, i think they were called enduro.

the ideal meters are fluke knockoffs, but i don't know how well you can calibrate them. the craftsman, however, was way off @ work, so i calibrated it pretty easy. good enough for radio equipment and sensors, now.

nah, if you look closely, the outer flange is cut differently, then the chamber. 2 different machines. the chamber is supposed to be recessed. they could only work with spacers, and a little more cutting in the chamber..... oh hell.- just paint your pipes a cool color and it'll all be good. :biggrin:

damn, it looks like they got confused and too 2mm off the bottom of the dome, instead of the chamber. unless they came with 2mm copper gaskets, they are useless.

what meter do you have, and what went out on it? there is a fuse inside, that can blow if you accidently have it set for amperage

you are pretty close, should be about 270 main as a starting point, clip in the middle, and you will have to adjust the airscrews to decide if you need a bigger pilot or not. the reason some use jets like 48 and 160, is because they are running much bigger carbs.

you're too rich on the pilot/airscrew/needle. did you adjust it with the engine at operating temp? it should have a hesitation off idle, and need the choke when cold.

interesting pipes. look kinda small. how do they perform?

that depends on the temp and humidity change. going from below freezing to about 60f, is 1-2 sizes leaner on the main, and 1 size on the pilot, but if it's alot more humid, like durring breakup, it will want to be almost 1 size leaner, which will make you too lean when it dries out. start with a plug chop on the main, 1 size down, and then see if it needs a smaller pilot.

ok, just to make sure, are you running fresh fuel(the same fuel and oil that you are going to be running) if that's good, then you are rich all around. the intermittent problem is loading up with fuel. sea level fuel wil be way different on the jetting than your local fuel, but if your running local fuel, then go down one size on your pilots, and attempt a plug chop. what reeds are you running? what do your plugs look like?

the airscrew is the little flathead screw near the arfilter side boot. it lets air past the pilot jet to tune the pilot mixture right. clockwise richens and counterclockwise leans. it also effects just off-idle performance as well

because there are so many variences in oils and fuel additives, the plug chop, and the ground electrode are the only really reliable indicators to tell that you are dead on, save for checking for metal flecs. the rest of the range is pretty much feel, and symptoms of how it runs

haha, get a better switch and tape it up real good. does the side of the switch have a 125/250vac rating on it?

fluke 87 here, but craftsman has a clone that is decent, once calibrated on the ohms

haha, i know my pipes are white, i painted them... cool, huh i have no problem buying bulbs. mr16, or h-3? 12v bulbs are supposed to be able to run 16v, but if you get a crappy one, they might blow. you're right, though. niether of us would win, and i've been trying to watch moveis, so i'll leave it alone. i'll go hook a couple foglights strait to my stator tomorrow, and take some readings. -whoah, took me 2 hrs to post. long ass movie-

woah, you can do what you want, but i would start @ 40:1 for about 4 hrs, or 2 tanks, then inspect for deposits, to make sure you're running 80:1 in a clean engine. when i started the torco, i kept it rich for a while. it even removed all the paint from inside the intake. just to make sure none of the deposits stick somewhere else when they come off. wouldn't want to twist a rod, or stick a ring. just my .02 oh, and in the case, i run g.m. auto trac II

if you are running stock port heigths, then back the timing off to stock, or minus 1, if you are staying in the pipe the whole time.

01 stroker has the modified diagram, but basically remove the tors and ebrake circuts where they meet the harness, and decide what switches you want to keep.

see, there's the hole in your theory. i'm not gonna re-school you in electrical calculations, but ohms law is simply the rudimentary formula, not taking into account efficiencies, and limitations. the main process here is a voltage drop across the circut. the stator will only produce about 8 amps @ full output, while simotaneously staying within useable voltage minimums. it will not put out the 15 amps above 10.5 volts, and infact, the many inefficiencies in the circut will drop the voltage to around 2-4 volts, with the rest of the energy being dissapated as heat, and transient fields. you do not apply amperage, you simply allow it to pass, as it is a volume, and voltage is the pressure, which can only be built in the prescence of volume. no electrons=no voltage. besides, if you could get 335 watts @ 22v, then you could just pair your lights in series, and run 4 80 watt 12v lights off the stock stator.

lol, it's ok just to try it out. it won't hurt anythig, and it'll sound a bit zingy and probably heasitate in the mid throttle if lean

just give it a try, and do a plug chop. pilot/airscrews will have a major effect on low throttle bog, too. stock is middle clip

no problem :beer:
