AKheathen Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 it makes a small difference, but the biggest gain is in conjunction with the right pedal choice. stiffer pedals and longer angles for high rpm, and softer with a steeper slope to help push the petals open at lower rpm. hogging it twards the retainer helps them move faster. it's not a major power mod, but is a great project to get experience on, and i'll work on pics after dinner :thumbsup: Quote
AKheathen Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 ok, dug 'em out. kinda rough, but i have 4 sets for practice, and on's half finished. i was doing low end on stock pedals Quote
Snopczynski Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Ummmmmm, the rubber on the reed cage is there to seal up against the reeds. The outside has to be perfectly flat and smooth. Quote
studroes Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Posted February 14, 2009 alright well i did one of the stock cages tonight and i thought it turned out pretty good by looks..whether or not they would work on a running wheeler is another thing lol but as far as smooth edges, how smooth do the edges and angles hafta be? is there any difference in how the engine runs and performs?

AKheathen Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Ummmmmm, the rubber on the reed cage is there to seal up against the reeds. The outside has to be perfectly flat and smooth. that was white paint pen, the rubber's still there, just need to clean. the tools at work are'nt as nice as home, so i said fuck it, and braught them back home, before i fuck up 4 sets of cages. if you look, there is still a boarder of black rubber between the edge, and where i traced with paint. that is where the pedal seals, just don't cut into it too far. also, you can see some burrs near the bottom that needs cleaned up, so it doesn't push up on the pedals when you tighten them. this was just a junk practice set i messed up, but you can see the general shaping.
