I pretty much finished my break in with this engine this weekend and I must say I turned a few heads. Got a few guys running some $400+ motors and I blew by them on the straights. This is the first motor that I have seen with consistant power from top to bottom. So far I am very satisfied with this motor. Now I just gotta take time and get my serpent handling right

ALLLLlllll right, Here I go again. This weekend was the last of our state series. My JP was flawless till the conrod died (6 gallons) So now I'm going to give the Mega another shot. I had found the o-rings on the low end needle stripped up from factory, so I'm hoping that had something to do with my tuning problems. I have those all changed up. This weekend I'm going to give it another try. I dind't have any performance issues when it was tuned right, but I just couldn't get it to keep it's tune. We'll see how it goes and I'll report for anyone that's interested.

Well I'm FINALLY able to say I'm happy with the ZX12. After changing the o-rings, all problems went away. Turns out it's not that hard to tune afterall You just needs to do fine adjustments. It ran hard, good run time, good everything, never overheated. Yesterday was just practice, we'll see how it works in a race. But I have a good feeling about it. PHEW!

where did you get the orings? I'm looking for them too
#463
I wound up changing the High and Low Speed needle o-rings as well as the carb locking mechanism and o-rings (just in case) It came out to less than $10.
I got them from www.shopserpent.com Call Serpent USA and they'll give you the part #'s. I'll post them tonight when I get home from work.

I finally have mine dialed in OK. I'm heading to San Antonio today to make the final adjustments to the motor before the Texas Biggie. My problem was that; because I was running the wrong glow-plug, the high-speed needle set more on the lean side. And after 3 to 4 minutes of run time, it would start to over heat.
I still don't under stand how a lot of these motors are coming with bad o-rings. Is that an automated process at the plant or something? I was looking in the hobby shop the other day, and you could see the low-speed o-ring sticking out. But don't get me wrong. I really really like this motor.
