turboed Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 i dont know if this is a myth or what but i heard you shouldnt hold the gas wide open in 6 gear for long,is this true? Quote
snowprophet1 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 Don't do it if you're afraid of going fast! All I could think of is if your jetting was too lean you could burn a piston, but after I hit top speed (and smoking my buddies long before that ), I usually don't hold it too much longer. Quote
turboed Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Posted March 22, 2004 thanks for the reply but there is no fear here just dont want to blow the motor Quote
sredish Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 thanks for the reply but there is no fear here just dont want to blow the motor you won't "blow" the motor if it's jetted properly. that's why we recommend to run it in the highest gear possible to check the plugs. Quote
banshee tuner Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 Run it wide open, if it blows rejet. Oh you will need to rebuild also. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 If the engine is wound out, I don't hold the throttle open for more than a couple seconds at time. An example would be if I'm out on a flat stretch of sand. I don't wind it up to 11 grand and hold it there for a minute. I sort of blip the throttle, or go back to camp and go up a tooth on the front sprocket (what I should have done at Dumont) Quote
blueshee03 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 i hold it wide open through all 6 gears and when i pass light at end of eight mile track i shut it down Quote
DIRTBIKEZ Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 Eight mile track? Thats a long race. Quote
blueshee03 Posted March 23, 2004 Report Posted March 23, 2004 very long,i meant to say "eighth"mile Quote
banshee76179 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 eighth mile! I'm in the top of fifth in the 1/8 Quote
icemanscold Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 I do not hold it for more than a quater mile wide open. When I go to milan dragway, I drag on the quater-mile asphalt stretch and at the end the shees really cookin, almost 90-mph, before most of my mods.Should be faster now. Quote
blueshee03 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 almost 90 in the quarter asphalt . i was running 88 in the eighth mile dirt last year and i'm definately faster this year. Quote
streetshee Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 Run it wide open, if it blows rejet.
