What kind of vehicle are you using it in, I have seen before on certain cars that the clunk come off of the line in the tank.

RC8T-CE. I just read the tuning guide in the tuning bible thread. I'll probably start from factory settings.

i had the same problem with mine, it was the HSN setting was to lean, it also has to do with the half tank bog after a long straight, just richen the HSN and you should be all set!! it may run alittle rich for the first lap or 2 but will get much better as fuel goes down.

That is pretty much what was happening. I would go down the front stretch and the do a 180* turn then get on it for the big triple. When it was in the air I could hear the engine rev up.

Thanks guys.

just remember, very fine adjustments of the HSN as it won't take much to go to far !

Well.... I just sold my YFZ 450 today. I got enough to pay it off, pay next months rent, and I'll have about 250 left. I have a 2013, 086 and my RTR pipe. I want to get an engine and bump box but I know I'll need a pipe was just hoping I could put it off for what I got for a couple weeks so I could get the box.... The AE comes with a POS drill start. I know 250 isn't quite enough but was hoping I could get close to that number and give the Go's a try. My other option is to get a motor that runs with the 2013 or 086.... know what I'm sayin....:(
