I'm really hoping I can get 10 min out of the Reedy motor and 10 gallons.
I have heard that the Reedy motors like to run hot like 260+ this true? My Werks motors ran during the Texas summers at 220-230.
Are you looking at the newest Reedy 121VR? I have the original and have about 12 gallons thru her now. I run in Houston and it usually runs around 240-260. With the humidity @ 94% I was getting right @ 10 minutes but didn't want to push it. I've run it with the 2039, 2035, 053, & 2058. The 2035 & 39 were great on bottom but really lacked top end. The 053 was great on top, but very light on bottom. The 2058 was awsome all around. I havn't tried the 2057 yet but it may yield a little more run time.
