For sure, those black crankcase engines spotted during the Winternats and the WC were of course pre-production units.

Anyway, when have you seen the engines on normal racer's cars? What pipe did they use? Were their engines tuned properly?

As far as the clutch spring . the one which comes with the 710 standered ( in the box ) is a tad bit soft for the torque of the new mega 12. you have to tighten it too much to make it have the snap off the corner you need. By tightening it so much , you end up with coil bind. and you will acually hear the motor ( double clutching) off the corner. I use the 950r spring set at .9 mm . Seems to really work well.

Hey 1FastSerpent, do you also run any mods on the Centax 3 flyweights when running with the hard spring on the Mega ZX-12 engine?

I hope you know pretty well enough by now not to buy the notion "if it comes in a black crankcase, then it's surely fast"... 
It was said that during the Winternats, M. Salven offered some guys to test his own engine. The black crankcase pre-production one if I'm not mistaken. After testing it, they bought one off the shelf and the engine performance was the same as the one from M. Salven...
So much from believing black crankcase = more power...
I think some Mega internals pics of M. Salven after the Euro TC tech inspection in Luxemborg were posted and the internals did not show anything special...

Thanks Initial D. I think i get what you mean. are you talking about better fuel saving for this engine will also save me some money? that would be great. but I need a fast engine not only a fuel saving engine. Any thought?
by the way, the mega I saw is not impressive at all but I didnt time his run time to check if this engine is really fuel saving.

I´m in desperate need for the factory settings for the zx12 race. ran the engine, perfect! one race perfect! took it off to repair my car, put it back and somehow it just ran fine and then dies, like with a ploff sound from the pipery new plug, nothing yet, I lost the settings! thanks!

As for cost savings, I don't think you'll save fuel in the long run. Just check the prices of spare parts against the Novarossi ones...

Make sure your fuel has "only" 11% oil content and set the low mixture as wet as you can. High idle with rich low mixture.
We set ours so can only stay for 5-6 sec idle, enough for refuelling time (with stock EFRA 2602 pipe). Than you will get the most from this stock engine. Dont try to tune high needle using visible smoke !!!
Hope this helps.

When you buy an engine, you don't need to add anything, it runs fine as it is supplied.

The stock engine come with 0.4mm. On the first day I ran-in the first 1.5 L with this setting. However, I found the glow plug was a bit "compressed". To safe guard the engine of being too much compression (Not sure if I am correct)
On the second day I added 0.1mm to 0.5mm. But I burned 2 glow plugs (w/o dropping the metal coil luckily ). The engine has never been over-heated. Any advice from ZX 21 users is appreciated. Thks.
