Well, the engine ran well on race day, quick enough for sure, just needed to go down to 24T on final gear, 25T was far too high as it turned out.

Had 2 cut outs, and I'm wondering if that's due to being too rich on bottom end? It did hold its Rev's a bit off throttle before settling, and if not driven hard tended to bog down on the bottom end and smoke (and 2 cuts in the entire day).

Thoughts?

Piston looks ok, nice silver ring between oil seals. Hopefully will get more out of it next time around.
