jscharphorn Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I used one piece, at the piston wall I am getting .44-.45 and half way back to center of piston I have .60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscharphorn Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 so do I have the wrong base gasket on this ? I need to get one flying in the mail if I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscharphorn Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) I am getting consistent readings .44 at the wall and then about 1/4" away is .50 and about 1/2" away .60 If I went with the .12 base gasket then I would be .36 / .42 /.52 Edited June 17, 2015 by jscharphorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Who cut those domes ? Ideally you would like .048-.049 tapered to .055 with a 10mm band on a safe set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 From those numbers maybe the angle is wrong for Pistons your using call cam at redline get a set of cut domes and try it if everything else is up to par you gotta try something domes are telatively cheap in the gran scheme and cams domes are based off a .020 base like your running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chukkinsod Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 What bike were you running? Our crew up there on Thurs, Fri, Sat. Made it to last banshee standing on SAT (round 8 of 10) damn snomo trikes! We had a tough time with bogging on FRI/SAT...running same setup as on Thurs but the track got really sticky after all the rain. 80 rippers were grabbing way too much we had to lighten spring pressure and drop RO to 78 extreems.

jscharphorn Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 domes came with motor so would not surprise me if they were wrong cut, everything else was wrong with this motor when I got it and had it tore a part to make sure everything was right. I have not tried any electrical, I will be out of town this weekend and will try new carbs first of next week and see what it does. Chukkinsod, I was just there for Thursday, I ran my yfz450 ( 513 ) and had my cub on the trailer, I was hooking way to hard with it and could not keep the front end down, I did not have spare parts to try with it..

RadarRacing Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Not to get too technical but those domes do not sound like they would work well. .044 at the outer edge is fine but squish shouldnt change that much. Jeff at Fast or Cam at redline and the $70 or whatever will be money well spent and great to just start over with the domes. In my opinionn good domes are more important than porting on small cubs. They can make 15hp difference at times on a 421 honestly. There is tons of poor performing domes sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscharphorn Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks, well that just burns my chops, well can chalk up another item from this shit as build from someone, I had to replace numerous items on this motor already because someone did not do it right.

jscharphorn Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I contacted the guy I got the motor from and he said Midwest power sports is were the domes came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Def sounds like band was cut for a different piston crown angle or just a shit job. How wide was the solder you ended up using? How wide is the squish band? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscharphorn Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 I used .62 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 How wide was the total flattend area in mm? That will give you an idea on width wiithout removing the head again. Next time i would rec a build sheet on assembly documenting everything from port timing and dome design to tune up settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscharphorn Posted June 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Thanks, I have not check what your asking. I got the 39 carbs today and mounted them and now I am getting a hole shot, I only tried a couple times and need to spend more time with it but was out of time for the weekend, I will be out of town and back at it on Monday. I will be checking into the domes also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 It helps with a build sheet I don't normally give it to people but if they call I have it on an index card in a Rolodex I hate computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
