Top speed from your cub ?

[Lethaface]

Last friday ran 89mph in the 1/8th on gas with 14/40 gearing and 20" tires.. still had a bit left in 6th gear so it could have got 90 plus i'm sure.. The gearing and tire size was actually almost perfect for the 1/8th any more or less i think would have been a waste..

I'd like to add.....if you're running top speed its not even safe to hold WOT for a few seconds, let off, and go back to WOT. I locked mine up like that. I'd let off the gas for a couple seconds in between WOT bursts to let the bowls fill up (so I thought).....didn't work. I don't know it the bowls actually ran dry, or it leaned it out (so I've heard) when you go WOT, off the gas and WOT again.

it blew up while you were off the gas cuz it was spinning 10,000 rpm's but trying to get fuel through the pilot jet...

15 40 gearing , 115 beside a r6 street bike and 96 in the 1/8th ive ran wot a long time the stock bowls on 35s and 39s are pretty big and it wont run out of fuel on gas , dont let off the gas it will shut the slides and starve the motor for fuel ,
