I have a feeling Reedy, anybody know any prices on them? Or a ball park?

jamminnay 12-30-2008 02:19 PM

i have not heard anything about pricing yet.. i am very curios though

Some more information would be nice. They'll most likely release it to the mags first for a full shakedown then it'll be available for public consumption. They'd be better off getting them out before the spring racing season starts.

Why would you think that? I pitted with one of their drivers at a race about a month ago and his engine ran great all weekend. What he said is that they're still tweaking on it, and they were still getting new parts in to try. They want the engine to be the best it can be before they put it out for sale, more power to them for that.

Ok I don't undertsand how they could design a whole new carb that doesn't work like any other on the market and then go and put the idle needle on the wrong side. I know it won't effect performance of the engine in any way what so ever but it is a pain.

other than that its a top looking engine

AlanHall 01-04-2009 08:24 PM

what do you mean? besides the base the carb looks normal to me?

Rocket42 01-04-2009 08:28 PM

The base is what I meant sorry, it doesn't go into the block like any other carb I am sure it works like every other carb as far as slide and needles

+1....... I think it would be easier having the needle on that side of the carb since all the other adjustments are that side. I am sure once we get the enging that won't be a problem. Maybe Rick or Brent can chime in on the engine.

Seen it in person and from the questions i have asked to a specific driver he really likes it. Very linear power with good bottom end (no jumpy bits whilst going through the rev range) and a good fuel economy. 11mins they were doing and the engine wasn't lean at all (nice smoke trail everywhere). Definetly a engine to keep a eye on :nod:
