If the guy who modded it for you is a reputable modder, he should know if it will work, ask him.

All engine mfg's have problems at times. They are dealing with it. Let's not make this bigger than it is. :nod:

They had a batch that the silcone epoxy went bad on. They are replacing the cranks for those that have the problem engine. Name another brand that will do that?

Hey Biged, is it the same batch of engines we got ours from? I really like my Reedy and have no complaints ! Now if I can only stay off my lid..................................
:confused:

can you run the engine without the poxy?

Chris Reilly 01-06-2010 08:01 PM

P4 or OD 97T, 2060 should be good. P3 should work. I have a new Reedy/2035. Going to get TT 2039 at well. More Top-end.

2025 typo = 2035

Charles Godwin 01-07-2010 12:43 AM

2025....?? Can't even find a number on the EFRA site from 2009. Or is that a typo? hmmm, could do with another pipe anyway for a bit more top end.

hi is the stock shimming ok to run with gen 2 25% please got os p3 and o donnell 97t plugs and an os 2060 fitted ??

Charles Godwin 01-10-2010 05:10 AM

Stock shimming seems fine with 25% gen2 Dan. Been running 25% Gen2 on mine with no hassle. I did try the P3 during summer and personally couldn't get on with it. Not to say you won't but i now use a P4. I think the 97T plug should work fine also. Haven't run the 2060 but i think a few on the forums here have and find it to be a nice drive :)
