Hey Instagater, hope you checked that carb cause you will wash down your rings quickly. Why your engine builder would re-jet your carb after dynoing engine is beyond me. You were loading up BAD when you passed my house.

leaned the idle out some and its runnin great. went with the next jet size up just to be on the safe side after reading plugs. hopefully soon i will be making an onboard video of a top speed run after propping for 6K when trimmed up. im trying to cut down the 20-30% prop slip that i have rite now.

i dont think i was rich enough to wash the rings. i burned 1qt of oil in the first 5 hours due to break in and now im burning no oil. it may have been a combo of that and just a rich idle that day. im runnin total seal piston rings and custom pistons with teflon coated skirts, will that make a difference for wash down?

ok 20-30% slip does not mean 30% slip at 84 mph. im gettin around 30% prop slip at cruise currently turnin a 25p 4 blade 6k rpm at 80 mph (18% slip) and i still have throttle left.

lol its a little high strung. actually i used a brand new style of valve springs and retainers that brought the rpm band up. the motor was pulled to 6400 on the dyno before install with no problem.
