I just wanted to tell you guys. I have new orion JTP with only two gallons through it, after reading here several pages, I could not hold myself and immediately ordered a B5. I think that the JTP will be my backup engine ;) .
Good to be part of a group of people who help each other and to own a product that receives full support from his manufacturer .
Great job Ron

Now a little question
I got the engine and made Ron's break in method . engine runs 12 tanks.
Now after break-in i set the air gap to .7 and the lsn where it idle good (Slightly rich). The hsn set Slightly rich and blubbering.
The problem is when i close the hsn 2-4 hours the engine run good but the temp rise to 245F and when i open back 2 hours the engine is too rich.

Does it happen because the engine runs only 12-13 tanks?
Pipe orioin 2058, plug p3, byron 25%
I'm at sea level and the temperature outside is 80F

Thanks And sorry for my bad English.

Don't always put so much into a motor "temp" the engine will let you know if its either to lean or to rich. I would suggest to try 1 hour increments at a time, it does not take a whole lot to get it in the sweet spot. As long there is smoke from the exhaust and its not lean bogging you are close. Just take your time to let the motor fully break as well and you will get that sweet spot before you know it!!:D

If you would like to pay the shipping plus 20 bucks I have a crank that's just collecting dust.

Of course I will do that. Don't get upset now that I tell you I live in Sweden (Europe). The shipping to me is done by the USPS. So if you please could just check the shipping cost I will gladly pay you for shipping + $20.
Get the absolute cheapest shipping possible, I don't care for tracking or insurance and I'm not really in a hurry so if it takes 3 weeks I don't care :)

I can pay you an any way you want!


RevoRacer, could you please respond? I have sent you the money a MONTH ago and since I haven't heard a single word from you!
I have tried PM and email. I'm sure everything is OK but I need some confirmation

Had really great success this past weekend at the RC Pro Finals in Porter, Tx which was the home of the 2013 ROAR Gas Offroad Nationals. I ran Werks fuel, Werks #5 plug and Werks B5 Pro's in both my RC8.2 buggy and my RC8T-CE truggy with a 2058 in the buggy and 2013 in the truggy. Run times were really good as well. 9:30 on the buggy and 10:45 on the truggy. The motors preformed so well all weekend with no issues at all.! Did manage to finish on the podium in both classes in the race and on the podium for overall national points. Glad to be apart of Werks Racing Team! Can not wait till the 2014 racing season.

Lance

Congratulations Lance - great result :)

The Werks fuel is brilliant stuff. The boys are calling it "liquid gold" down here ;).
Running your B5's on that would have made for awesome performance.

always had luck with TKO ceramics in my B5's.........
