nice, but I saw an earlier picture a while ago that had a goldish colored head that I think actually looks better then that all silver. But if she goes like stink, I'll buy one.

Well I started breakin mine in today. Had to richen it 5 full turns to get a liquid discharge out of the pipe. Also richen the bottom a half of turn. She purred for 2 complete tanks at 205-210. What are other guys needles set at for breakin. Also my kit didn't come with extra shims but I have to say. I really like those venturis and the manifold springs. I also went ahead and sealed the carb and back plate with racers edge sealer. This was just for a piece of mind. Plus I hate seeing motors with sealant all over them.

Hey guys I just broke my Reedy in 3 weeks ago and this last weekend heard a strange noise out of the engine. So I tore it down and discovered that the rear bearing went bad. Anyone know if AE will do good on their engine? This engine doesn,t even have a gallon on it yet.

Because there are so many rumours-in the uk any way of the AE boys.. running Speed internals... lol Speedy seems about right them

I've heard good things about AE's customer service from a few people they should have no problem helping you out. Should give them a call. You'll probably have to send them the motor and a copy of the receipt.

I found out flush settings don't work. Need to use turns. For instance, my hsn flush is 6 turns out. For breakin my hsn is 4.25 from bottom and lsn is 4 out. I had to keep the head wrapped and the temp are around 230. I'm only on tank 4 but it still idles perfectly.

NeoBuggy posted a saying "Maifield in particular suffered engine problems and having qualified poorly." This was with the older engine, in his truggy he was sporting the new engine along with Saxton and Brent.

Ok I have ran 8 tanks rich with temps starting at 220-230-240-250. After the 8th tank I was about to try and race tune bit thought I would check the pinch. After idle and 8 tanks run thru it the pinch is still there. Is this the case for everyone else. Also I like the fact that I didn't have to use any shims on the clutch bell

You'll have pinch until almost a gallon of fuel is through it, if you have 8 tanks through it, go ahead and go for race tune, it won't hurt anything.

Your motor may run a little hot for the first 1-2 gallon also. Like 295-300, then it should drop around 250.

Cool, thanks guys. This thing has a ton of bottom, im really thinking of going with the reedy 2039 to take away from the bottom.

The Reedy UK team all use the 2039 pipe.

Or a HN 2047

Hello,

What shimming should I use for 25% ?

I'm just using the standard shimming for 25% mate. Have used the standard shimming for 30% too and no adverse effects
