Due to a very tight race for first place and a mechanical failure on my car toward the end of the race, I placed second. I'm very happy with the new engine.
One thing of note, I did notice the set screw that holds the carb in place came loose and therefore wasn't keeping tune. But that's my own fault for not checking it and putting thread lock on it.
After the first couple runs, you need to tighten that screw again as the materials are seating in. May I ask what fuel and plug you used in the engine? And congratulations!
