Could be right. I was running 250hp on the second shot at the time I talked with Mike. I increased that to 300 at the last meet and advanced the timing 1 degree on each stage. I'll take your advice and go back to 10's. I have a heap of them in my spares anyway. I'm mainly concerned about getting tha...

Re the hot plugs. I was running 10's but they always looked way rich. I was talking to Mike Canter and he said 10's can often look rich when they're not and leaning it out could go all bad. He said 9's were better to read so I switched to them and they are looking a lot better. The ground strap, ele...

I reckon the best way to lighten the rotating mass is to get yourself a Chance aluminum convertor. Worked for me.

I'm thinking too fat can allow unburned fuel down the sides of the pistons blowing apart ring lands and trying to weld rings to cylinder walls, too lean or too much timing will get deto...

It all appears the same. The fuel ring looks good. No detonation. But I can't see any heat line. Does...

Hi, Great to see a site like this.
