How do you lock the variator for use on a chassis dyno?

I have a few friends that work at various shops equipped with dynos and i'd like to see where my bore/pipe combo is making peak power and such.

From what i've read, locking the variator takes the trans shifting out of the equation and gives a more traditional dyno plot.

Anyone done this?

Re: Another GY6 into Elite build

As much as i love a nice 2t, i bet that big 4 stroke moves nicely and gets good mpg.

Great job!

always 92-93 octane.

375 isn't bad? When does bad begin? 400?

Re: New top speed!

Well, so far its gotten up to 375 and then i let off. Wasn't sure if it would plateau or not, and didn't want to find out!

I just realized i havent ran a compression tester on this thing yet. I gotta get on that.

Re: New top speed!

Thanks!

Question though, the temp gets pretty toasty when trying to run that fast. Can people actually run those speeds and keep the temps under 350 at WOT?

Re: Opinions needed. Is my corsa running hot?

Just ran out and mega richened it by moving the clip down twice. it absolutely killed the bottom end, way too much fuel.

When at speed the temps creep up again.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say I need to try a larger main?

Btw I'm the biggest carb newb ever.
