Chef1366,
Thanks for the info on the plugs. Now if I can figure out why it runs on 3 until i get past 1/4 throttle. You guys have fun while I wait for the rain to stop. That might be on Friday.

RS carbs go out of sink a lot.
if you have 1 slide down then it will run on 3 till the throttle starts to open and it won't run 100% on all 4 till its wide open.

Jim, leave the timing the same on all 4 cylinders! Just go 1 size bigger on the inner cylinders due to more heat there. Ray.

Bill was over yesterday; his bike looks real nice. The chrome covers almost make it look like a harley. The combo looks good for an L. I might have to say something though if he gets leather tassles .


Anyway we pulled plugs to compare. His bike was running super clean after the 150 mile trip over here. I pulled my pluggs and they looked pretty rich. Turns out mine were 145 and not 147.5 like I thought. Also the needles were already at 3 1/2 from the bottom. We moved them all to 4 1/2 from the bottom and the things still runs well. Will probably pick up some 142.5's and ty and drop down on the outers depending on how it looks.

Seems I have richened up since my temperature has dropped so much from the sprayer and serier R/R. Temp gauge never gets over 210 degF and around here it is usually closer to 180-190 degF MAX.

Also I did not completely drain the oil but still had a 1/2-3/4 quart in when I pulled the stator. I topped it back off and we did about a 20 mile quick ride. OIL STILL LOOKS LIKE HONEY.

Things are starting to seal.
This engine has gobs of torque.
I opened it up last night after I got off the freeway by my house, well all I can say is I was grinning from ear to ear.

Hey Bill, where would you guess the HP range is on that thing?

Hopefully we will have a Dyno to play with this year in Reno.

I'm hoping for 140.
Am I dreaming?

The 1166 in Chad's bike, with .348 cams & 36 RSs made 140 @ the back wheel with a JUNK head that has stock valves & valve job in it! Bike runs 9.30s @ 146 @ Fontana! Ray.

Chef,

What is your break in procedure. Heat cycles? Below 6000 rpms? Or?

Still working on it. The mobile guy can't make it, so I'm gettin ahold of the other guy with a dyno in his shop.

First start up I run it at 3-4k for about ten minutes.
Then I ride it. Not too hard but after 500 miles, the first oil change and valve adjustment look out.
I'm still taking it easy on it.

MOTOMAN that thing Bill & start beating it like a red headed step child! Ray.
