Wow..14mins run time on a buggy? Thats super amazing! I tried 3 tanks and it ranges from 9min 45s to 11 mins with a 7mm venturi. Temp was 120c when it ran out of gas. Of course the pipe plays a major part, but its the fingers and track layout plays a major part as well. As for me, im more than satisfied with the performance and i wouldnt take the risk. Better to pit at 7mins..

Just driving around the back yard. Engine temps at 210 or so. I think it rips but I can tell once it drops its nuts it is really going to scream. I used the WERKS break in method. I use that on all my engines. I have over half gallon on this motor with 30% WERKS. I am racing it this weekend broke in or not.

Yes that's in a buggy on a good medium size track medium grip as well...
I'm much the same but when you race against 5 of the top drivers in the country on a club day just to make the A, I need good runtime cause every little bit helps...

you should be running OS plugs..P3 for steady idle, easier tuning, P4 for more power and better runtimes

I thought I would try the Werks plug and it seems to be running fine though. Only issue I had was it didn't seem to want to thread in the head correctly for some reason. Either way, just to be on the safe side I have a new head and some bullitt p3 plugs on the way.

Are these the stock settings for the arrow? Ready to put her on the ground after a little bit of break in time.

Be careful turning needles all the way to the closed position (never turn MSN/LSN to full closed).

The needles should be set from the factory, but here is the right settings for an Arrow:
-HSN: 3 turns open from closed
-LSN: FLUSH with the ball link body
-MSN: FLUSH with the carb body (generally, slot pointing around the 9 and 3 o'clock hour - though not always, so do whatever is flush)
-Idle: Set a 0.75mm idle gap with the venturi insert out! Arrow says 0.5mm, but once you fire up the engine for the first time, you can lower it as needed.

I keep OS plugs in stock so let me know if I can help

I ran a WERKS plug in the arrow and it sucked. Only running a P3 now.

The Arrow was ripping today. Love it. Running a WERKS 2057 pipe today. Love it. Sounds pretty nasty as well.
