You need a rear dominator. The v2 is a 2 piece that makes it easy to work on things.

I run Castor 927 oil, clean burning, one of the best and any good atv shop carries it

Are you still running 25-1 ? I was going to try like 32-1. Not sure if it makes much of a difference in power or longevity?

DDM told me to stick with 25:1 in the engine I bought.

Steve claims that anything beyond 32:1 will just shorten the life, and even at that.

He claimed that the performance is about the same and I can see that, I have tried a gallon of 32:1 and it didnt really feel better

The castor oil burns cleanly so you can afford to have the extra oil, my plug is always clean and brown

Well 25-1 it is. Although what I've noticed is these engines aren't any more expensive than a cheaper nitro big block. Kinda funny.

Depends on the engine lol

Mine was $450 and many are more $$

But you cant beat a stock 26s for 150-200 new or like 100 used.

I'm still running the 23 that came with it, with a fresh top end. So a 26 would be an upgrade lol. Been checking out the km and rovans buggies with the 26 to 30.5. Hmm.

$139 a few clicks at the DDM site can turn your 23 into a beast.

http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.88...t.A/id.4168/.f
$139

You would need the crankshaft too.
$36 for the stuffed +2 crank
$25 for the standard +2 crank

You would be looking at 6-6.5hp with a good tuned pipe, 4.5hp with a stock muffler

Looks like a wrist pin bearing is needed... $3.50

Thats it.
