What about fuel, do you reccomend 20 or 30%
The Hot Bodies flywheel has an offset that on a lot of engines it will rub on the carb or engine case. SO basically you are just adding washers to the shaft before you put the collet on until the flywheel does not hit the case/carb. You can also run a different flywheel that is not offset, or a different collet as mentioned before or just add the shims.
