Well it'd be going into an on-road car, so the more power the better. No such thing as too much! It has been a toss up for me between the Roma and the 28-7T.

Mine goes straight to low idle and stays there. That is how I was taught to set it many years ago.

Thanks Chris. I'll try leaning the LSN and see how it responds. Its very close to being perfect, just trying to get that last little bit of performance out of it can take some fine fine tuning that I often don't have the patience for. LOL

Having trouble keeping the BTT models straight...do I have this right?

BTT = Ceramic rear/steel front bearing
BTTA = Steel bearings front and rear
BTTS = Ceramic bearings front and rear

Are there other differences between these engines?

Thanks!

Keep a eye on the HSN as well. Write down where your needles are now for a reference point to go back to. Make small adjustments.

i was trying not to make too much light of this but many of the nova engines as of late have been coming with a subpar front bearing (compared to 17011 ;)) and have been causing some issues , the more of you guys that show your concern to serpent usa/desoto racing the quicker the issue will be remedied or email novarossi direct through their website

hope this helps


i try to tell my customers of this and let them choose which way to go on the front bearing



happy motorin',
