easy? like 30mph?
9.1 gears
rumia vari
new belt
v8 exhaust
45mm bore
24mm oko carb, 45/120 jets
is 30 a reasonable speed or keep it more tward 25mph?

she is running like a champ. 45/115 plan on going up to 45/120 to keep temps down and make sure she is well lubed id rather be too rich than too lean. i had terrible compression at 86 now im up to 124 with the bottom gasket under the jug wasent sealing due to part of it missing. white smoke, good, b...

yes the petcock does have a vac line but somthing inside the petcock is broken so gas flows freely to the carb the float is the only thing that stops the flow of fuel. also, now that i am running the 45mm bore i no longer need my old bore my 51mm rumia bore. i have a 51mm jug and head, $50 takes it....

ok i will see if i cant pick up a compression tester after work. im home right now but wont have time to get one and come back and then test. right now the needle is in the middle with a 45/115 jets. she starts! if i dont touch anything she will rev up pretty high and then come back down and die. no...

Yes I have changed the plug. Checked for spark and checked compression all three I believe to be fine, I don't have a compression tester but I put my finger in the spark plug hole and it blew it out with plenty of force. When I open her up there is plenty of fuel in the bore. I will adjust the pilot...

drop the pilot down to the next smallest size with needle clip in the middle -also check the compression :P how do i adjust the needle clip? is that to do with the carb and float? when the float rises it pushes up the neelde to stop the flow of fuel. am i supose to adjust that? or is the needle the...

thank you! i double checked and it clears nicely so i continued....

just swapped and tested proud of my 35min head swap :)..... not proud of my non working sexy beast (yes thats her name) so a 45mm bore and a stock 39mm head. jets at 45/110 and not starting, sounds a little on the rich side kinda boggy sounding when trying to start... any other suggestions, new head...

headed to my man cave right now to go try it post afterward

awesome, thanks for the info i will swap them tomorrow morning, altho she was running poorly with the 51mm head on but if she will run better with the stock head on im all for it! i have 2 stock head so i will put one on and take the other one to the machine shop. any other thoughts on jets still ca...

Mystic wrote:it will run with the stock head as long as the piston doesnt touch it at TDC but I had mine milled to match and the squish done too

Is this better than using a 51mm head?

Also will the stock head fit well for compression or is a 51mm head better I don't have a 45mm is that a must or will it run with one of the two above?

Put a 48/120 in no 118 do have a 115 tho. It's about 50 degrees here running a brh8s plug. And I am only about 170feet above sea level. I know these conditions will Change the jetting. Couldent see to get her started with the 48/120 think I might try the 48/115 combo. Thanks
