This is going to be a good one. Ed has done a great job. Use a P4 or OD 97T with an 086/9886 pipe. It was 75 degrees here today. Engine is running great.
Carb is sensitive...you only need to tweak the screws an hour to see a change. Engine goes from full throttle right to a nice idle when you hit the brakes.
Very smooth powerband and just keeps pulling.
Peter,
i wouldn't say the carb is sensitive, i found it rather easy to tune. I
do agree its not like some engines where you turn the needles and see no
change. I found the engine very easy to tune by sound, and that as i
tuned to needles the tell tale sounds would change making it easy to tune.
