Thanks for the help monty but I have to ask what is the flop test
Thanks again

Isn't that when a chick lays on her back and if her knockers flop into her armpits....They are not fake? That's the test I was thinking of.

So that's why Monty's pit tables are padded, and he has those curtains on his EZ-UP.

Monty...just wanted to stop by and say thanks for getting me that plus 4 and breaking it in so fast! It ran great all weekend at the futaba race....I did flame out in the main but it could be expected considering it rained about 2 inches of rain in 10 minutes...all during my main :cry: They called the race 15 seconds after I flamed and cost me 2nd:cry::cry::cry::cry:

Thanks again man...I can't say enough about the service!

Isn't the flop test when you pull your engine and crank it to its pinch zone and hold it sideways by the flywheel. Then after a few seconds it'll flop over. The tighter the pinch the longer it sits there.


I prefere to crank the engine over to build compression, spin by hand though the pinch, but stop before you crank past where your seal between the piston and sleeve opens.

You should be able to go back and forth 3-4 times before your compression disappears.

Zero, I think you are on it, but I like Elkmans theory as well. Both methods will get results, one way or another.

Does it means 0,8 mm clearance from TDC to the combustion chamber, or is it the total shim thickness?

if you are going through plugs , there is a problem :nod:

jet flyer 08-17-2009 06:32 PM

i did not while running 25% and I have retuned so to speak, both plugs ran strong for 1/2 a tank a piece.The mc9 has a couple of tanks on it but I thought the 8 would be better in the 90 degree heat.
