I told him to try to blow it up, by not letting off down the straights. The engine revved extremely high on every lap, and after the 20 minute main the engine came in at 260 F. Idling fine. There seems to be almost no limit to the revs this engine can produce.
Rev...oh yes it can. My engine did want to just keep on going. This motor is insane. I've heard of peope using Novarossi carbs, but have had no problems with the Sirio carb.

Hey Uriah, even @ 16/22 on my RRR, I still think that might be to high for our track, especially how RPM-ish the motor is. I did try the 16/21 combo but was afraid to let it unwind. Now that my motor is fully broken in (1 1/2 gallon) I think I'll try it next weekend.

One note: Something strange happened to my motor. Right before we had a passing rain shower. I was getting ready to shift into second gear and it felt like the motor just slowed down. Everything was just slow all of a sudden. For a second I thought I blew the motor. I pulled the whole motor to inspect and found nothing wrong. (BTW, I did change the conrod after 1 gal.) So I found that I had to lean out the motor another 3/4 turn. Even then I was only running 220 deg. I don't believe the needle would back out that much. I also changed the glow plug. What gets me is that I've had to adjust the needle because of humidity and time of day (morning/night) but only in 1/16 to 1/8 increments if that. Never had to go 3/4 turn. So, is this something that I have to worry about?

It would be very interesting to see a Murnan Modified CRF engine ? If the power is 1,19HP stock and beat the fully tuned engines what would be a Murnan Team Orion CRF engine 1.25 ? 1.30 ?

How old is the motor? It sounds like it just finished braking in when it richens up a lot for no apparent reason.

EdwardN has published the timing numbers of the CRF. If those are correct, the motor is already at the limit.

Uriah, Sent you a PM about a piston and Sleeve for a modded X12. I have one of the first X12's you did, 2 years ago. Finally wore it out. Heard that they don't sell teh X12 piston/Sleeve anymore. Any truth to that?
If i can get one let me know? Thinkin of getting a .12 ninja when they get here. Know anything about those?

Thanks

Tim

What's up? I managed to break the rod in my Ninja R01. It broke at the crank pin causing catastrophic engine damage.

How many gallons got through before breaking it? Or were u trying to make it break on purpose to see how much abuse it could handle?

Uhm... you asked what I wanted to ask to Uriah... here, we're quite satisfied with the overall quality and performance of the Ninja R01.

Any photos of the carnage?

I got about 2 gallons through it. I was pushing the engine too hard. I was not trying to break it, but I was pushing it as hard as it would go. I was actually warming the engine up getting ready to start my qualifying heat when the rod snapped. The car was in my hand when it went. It made a very violent jolt. 30K
to 0 revs instantly! I was probably revving the engine too high with out a load on it.
