I think that should do it. I still haven't ventured but maybe a couple hours of what it was. So i should be ok. All i need is for the rain to go away. I will get it.
I don't know how you could put a piston in backwards. It only goes in one way i thought. The bronze bushing is tapered on one end correct??? Besides all that happened before i went to the track. I have not taken it apart since.

I might be out of line on this, but I got 2 V Specs, and tried Nova's Werks, & Go's, I'll say I don't have much patience, and if you don't have patience, and want the motor tuned properly, go to electric. My first mistake is tuning too quickly, I found out you have to let the motor warm up 2 minutes, my next mistake was tweeking the top too fat when I should be tunign the bottom. I've learned that you have to get the motor to idle first, this will generally make sure the bottom is set fairly close, then work on the top. Our v specs hold the tune great, and once a month we run the back up just to run it and it doesn't need much tuning. When I get completely lost, I go bac to the factory settings, but 1-2 hours lean, and work from there. Just my 2 cents

What I am saying is, make sure you have a LONG run to check the top end mixture, as if its a short straight the engine could be lying to you, even though the trigger is mashed.

If I ever catch one of those engines lying to me,I will punish that as- and make it sleep. Very true... an engine can lie to you by loading up and not being run long enough to clear out.

I have OS speed and I had a ton of trouble in the beginning runing, but realized it was messing around with LSN too much.
Once I just starting tuning with only HSN it was easy. Just left my LSN at factory setting and used the HSN, HSN seem to affect the bottom end just a bit. and visa versa, so trying to tune both at the same time drove me crazy.
My speed needle settings are LSH= factory(top of the needle flush)
HSN is anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4 turn in from factory (2 turns in from flush)
This setting keeps the engine anywhere from 200-230 when checking with a temp gun, so probly tad bit higher when actually running.

Pretty close to where mine are.
HSN, 2.5 turns in from flush
LSN, 1/8 turn in from flush
Spraybar at 2 o'clock in from flush with 8mm (red) insert
Runs 210-220
