alright i just bought a brand new mxr6 rear holeshot tire from the local shop for $20 cuz they said they could never find a match for it. the size is 18x11x9 and i measured everything and the measurements are all right but i cant seem to find a match for it either..checked ebay and rocky mountain atv and some other places and cant seem to find one. has anyone heard of this size tire or know where i could get one?

what is the power difference gonna be between a 7mil and a 10mil? is a stock cylinder 7mil gonna be able to beat a 4mil cub with the same mods or is is the cub the way to go on this one?

alright im getting some parts around to start a new engine build. i do mostly road riding with some ocassional drag racing. the engine now is a drag ported 4mil with boost ports and all the other goodies but im riding with 4mil cubs and this engine isnt cutting it anymore. is it possible to use the same cylinders i got now with possibly a 7mil? is that just a bad idea for the type of riding im doing? and also, what type of clutch or tranny mods would i be looking at with this type of engine? just exploring my options so any comments would be great

ive adjusted and readjusted everything. seems to be more of a problem then just adjustment.

alright first question..the wheeler shifts from nuetral into first fine and i can hold in the clutch and it will idle good but if i bring the rpms up to about midrange the wheeler wants to creep ahead. how do i fix that so it doesnt move with the clutch in at higher rpms? the next question is..ive been doing some drag racing and not been having much luck, i can only launch in first because of the clutch issue but i cant hardly get it to shift out of first with much of a load on it. i have to let the engine die down a quite a bit before it will go into second and that is using the clutch and everything and the same problem happens between 2nd and 3rd but after that its normal. this is only in dirt when the tires are spinning. going down the road it shifts fine through all the gears. engine is a pretty built 4mil so its making decent power but the clutch and tranny is all stock with the exception of HD springs and clucth plates(needed to use all 6 HD springs or it would slip the clutch). any suggestions and some prices on parts would be great.

are you set on keeping your t'5s? imo if you're gonna build a 4mil motor with carbs and all the other goodies its gonna have more than enough power to handle more of a topend pipe (cpi's, shearers, etc.) even if your just trail riding you'll be able to get the power out of it that you want by setting up your gearing and still be able to get alot more topend out of it.

well like i said i dont know much about the 2 into 1 setups but mine handles the dual 38s pretty good so im sure you'll be fine with a single one. with mine i had to get a special cable from dennis packard (stock cable wouldnt work with lectrons that big) not sure how a single cable will be but if you find its not gonna work just give him a call and he'll get ya up and runnin and even give you a very close guess on where you should set you're metering rod for length.

yeah thats pretty much what it means..the bigger the carb is the more air its gonna let through which it turn allows you to add more fuel. more air and fuel into the engine equals more HP. not sure how that carb will work for a single carb setup for size wise but i run dual 38 lectrons on my 4mil and they need to have alot of porting to allow for how big they are. once you get the lectron tuned in you'll love it cuz you'll probably never have to touch it again. i can ride mine from 30 degrees to 90 degrees and never have to touch a single thing on the carbs or worry about the engine going.

stock cylinder 4mil is a good engine for most any kind of riding but id say that concentrating on your basics is a good way to build any machine. intake, exhaust and porting are the 3 main things that make up an engine imo. get a nice aggresive port job for your stock cylinders and some bigger carbs to feed it and throw a set of cpi's on it. good drag machine and still very trail rideable. just my 2 cents lol

i did alot of plug checks when i got the engine all together and running and they always came out with the nice brown color on them and as far as running lean i dont think that is an issue because if it was i think it would have caused a major problem alot sooner cuz the wheeler has been ridin and held wide open alot! the heads show no signs of detonation and never had a problem with plugs backing out. this may be a dumb question but when i let off from a wide open run is it best to let right off and pull the clutch in or keep giving it a little throttle so the engine keeps getting fuel or whats the best way to do it?

the squish is right where it should be. the engine is a 4mil with stroker domes, everything was calculated and cut by a professional builder. the head is a D&D head, dont know if many people know about them but it is a 2 piece type head that bolt down seperate onto each cylinder so as far as different deck heights that wouldnt be the problem cuz each side seals down itself. domes and compression are set to runpump gas so i dont run anything less than 93 oct. i ride basically roads only so its alot of wide open riding and both times it happened were when i was letting off from holding it at WOT for probably between 1/2 a mile to a mile. not too long but certainly long enough for everything to really heat up. when i put in the new orings they were in the grooves good and the head was torqued and re torqued.

went riding this weekend and i blew an oring on the dome in my coolhead. this is the second time its happened to me..happened last weekend too. it only happens after ive been riding for awhile and both times its happened right after i let off from holding it wide open for a straight aways. any idea of why this is happening?

stock carbs will be fine. i take it you're just running a spacer plate? once you do get it ported and invest in a coolhead with stroker domes bigger carbs will really help feed the engine and really increase your power!

yeah it came with all the bolts, kinda a neat setup. im gonna need new orings for this hopefully i can get some. the domes are 19cc
