Sounds good, Sam that was quick postage was a little skeptical about getting one form there have heard a few bad reports but never purchased from there... Im very keen for a change of engine at the moment.....

That screw is to close to the flywheel and could be a problem when you want to adjust the idle during a race and hit the flywheel In an onroad the carb is 180 degrees rotated, some brands have mirrored the onroad carb so it will have a better place in an offroad.

Never had an issue with rc mushroom, 3-4 days max and things arrive, have purchased there at least 6 times with out issue and fast postage....

I have never had an issue with the idle screw where it is placed, i run a jammin/picco jpx 21, jammin/picco jpx 21 plus, jammin/picco jpx 28 & the picco 21 boost is the same placement, i find it easy to get to when just lifting the side ofthe body up on race days...

Well i gave them a try i ordered one, So see how it goes.......

It looks a lot like a Ninja engine, doubt it will perform as well though

Senseless post...

What kind of run times are u guys getting,for those that have the motor?
and how is the power band?

I can not wait to get me one of these engines to my picco collection.

What other brands of plug work well in the picco's and what temp plug do they like cold medium or hot....

Imy self in victoria run the picco/ofna P5TH # 51006 hot turbo plugs and find them to work the best in all my 4 picco engines, the P6TH works but not as good ( med ) the o.s p3 & p4 work as well but again no where near as good as a picco/ofna plug.......they are hard to find but the plugs last forever...

I used 4 x P5TH hot turbo plugs during a 84 litre life with my jammi/picco 21

Cheers sam will get onto the Picco plugs then, I had heard that OS plugs work but just wanted to make sure before i put one in and maybe damaged the seal up on the boost from the plug being wrong.

Are there instructions for adjusting this? How much of a difference will it make? For those that have done testing, which seems to be the prefered method? Will Higher or Lower port timing give longer run times, or simply move the power band up and down in RPM?
