Flat spots on the rollers, they do more sliding than rolling in most cases. How often do you have to replace the rollers then? Also, since the 6 rolling areas on the variator are symmetrical, can you just use 3 weights instead of 6? Like 3 weights of 12 would be the same as 6 weights of 6? Or doesn...

But if you're using too lean AF, then you will raise the operating temp, and also cause detonation. So the best way is to have a good AF that won't detonate, and keep the operating temp down with extra gas right?

With using a wideband, what Air fuel ratio you looking for on a 2 stroke? Same as on a 4 stroke?

Also, using a wideband would be much safer and acurate than using the plug chop method right?

Lose power or gain power from drilling exhaust on 01 elite S

Okay, so I heard there is a washer welded in the flange of the exhaust, and was told it will give you more power to drill this out. I've also heard that you need to drill out 2 of the three baffles instead of the washer to gain power. I've also heard that doing either on the 01 elite I have will los...

Ohh, makes sense. I was thinking more of debris getting inbetween the belt and the clutch.

Do guys end up going through belts faster when they mod them up from simply more friction and same for the clutch? Just because they were meant for stock 30mph speeds, not 50-60?

so getting a narrower belt gives more top end, or is that a shorter belt gives more top end?
