Haha thanks. Don’t worry, I didn’t wash the cylinders! But I was soaking the buildup around the butterfly mating surfaces. That buildup was causing the throttle to stick closed and not open smoothly. Just after I shot it with cleaner, I used a light abrasive pad and cleaned it all out from the throttlebody walls. Much smoother operation now!

Wow. Why do you think the extra 15cc gave you so much more power?
@Extra-Medium-Skills
@Extra-Medium-Skills 28 күн бұрын
Making the engine more efficient with a brand new surface on the bored cylinders combined with the 13.5 to one compression ratio made a huge difference. More air and fuel were allowed in and was burnt more efficiently. Additional 15 cc were added to the bore, which made the motor more over square. Check out my later video titled “the battle for first” and you will see how much stronger this engine pulls than a stock motor with a jet kit/exhaust…. Even when I was turning this fat 180 section tire!

best option for carbon is a vacuum system thair rather cheep to get the components a pump from harber fraght you want the expensiveness one the cheep one is know to exsplode and a chamber to catch resin run off " easaly made from a pice of shedual 10 4 inch pvc pipe 12 inch pice shuld suit just fine matching end caps and two thread in barbs that fight 1/4 vacum hose one in from the work pice and the other out to the pump . i only say this becaous carbon is at is strongest with a one part carbon to one part resin composition and you get a sanifigently beter surface finish and way less issues working as long as your molds clean and buffed out to a glossie finish that is . nice job ither way most defitly a funtional part keep taking big bights one project at a time if you keep taking them you will surprise your self .
