turboed Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowprophet1 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share 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.

turboed Posted March 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 thanks for the reply but there is no fear here just dont want to blow the motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share 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.

banshee tuner Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Run it wide open, if it blows rejet. Oh you will need to rebuild also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icemanscold Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share 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.
