Thanks gents!

I had taken before pictures of the piston but forgot to take after pics before assembly. Nothing spectacular, just smoothed out all the casting lines and smoothed out the windows transitions. Trying to see in my mind how the a/f mixture moves and what would impede that flow and what would improve flow.

Have to finish up the muffler mod today. To dual port it or not dual port it......

 

[usmcbuckwild]

This thing is one HIGH-STRUNG MUDDERPHLUCKER!!!! HOLY HELL, it scared the piss out of me.

Don't be a pussy

I’m not kidding! Hahaha

I had L and H out 1.5 turns each. 6 pulls and didn’t get a fart, gave it 1 more half ass pull and the damn thing SCREAMED to life! I almost dropped it. Hahaha The idle screw was turned all the way in, not sure how I missed that, but it is what it is.

Fair enough.

 

[dustinwilt68]

For stumping the half wrap is way better, for felling the wrap is handy on unlevel ground, lowtop feels more nimble to me, all perception on that I guess.
