Hmm,
I'll have to watch for that.
In the previously posted video * small boy yells look at the maniac go *.
Thats a much earlier engine this is for all intensive purposes stock.
It has stock internals and a governer.
It has a header and some minor carb work.
Might even be a high compression 14cc head ( cant remember ).
But its nearly stock, behaves like stock, bolt it on a log spliter and it will split logs like stock...
The kicker is these engines need some help for reliability and proper perfromance.
They are too lean out of the box. timing is slightly retarded, exhaust and airbox are significant bottle necks to good opperation.
But if you fix all that its still stock and runs better than new.
Now my not stock engine could turn all the way to 7000 rpm if I asked it and it won't turn into shrapnel.
But thats not what it was built to do.
Most of the time it will work no harder than a stock engine.
This was a race bike.
I think its racing days are behind it now, the way my back feels today I know mine are.
Even with the clutch issues it climbs like a monkey, but the torque converter is a bit of a dispointment. Its not any better at what it used to do with a clutch ( gearing will likely change that ).
