Glad I could help

Glad it was helpful!

That only works up to 3/4 throttle, then the main jet takes over but yes indeed it can help on low to mid range

More to come! I've been goofin off playing w/ my toys. Thanks

I'm kicking myself for not tearing engine apart and balancing the crank. But....the engine didn't come with cheap screws/bolts instead of the better allen/hex head. They were on super tight and stripping so I quit, any engine you wanna try to make fast really needs balanced first.

Any time!

no. jetting and engine balancing are the issues

@HughesMotorized I think its not 4 stroking at half/full throttle but at lower load, not too sure. I gotta balance the crankshaft tho

My pleasure 😊

My pleasure!

@@HughesMotorized I’m trying out a Boafeng NT carb. They don’t have that plunger/primer setup and use a spring-loaded bowl drain. The only drawback I’m finding is the main jet is different than the stock NT’s. Any idea where to find jets for the Boafengs?

Me too! Also have Meatwad, Frylock AND Happytime Harry w/ his Red Glitter Dancing Shoes!

Be a rebel. Try it!

Bs. If you can't open throttle fully gor 30 seconds you did something wrong before you got to that point

Bs if you cant go wide opn for 30 sec you did something wrong well before this point

Glad to help

Main jet is for open throttle. Needle is for 1/4 to 3/4 throttle. 4 stroking is referring to full throttle @ max RPM. A bad gasket will make it run poorly from idle to wide open. But ya, if the clip is too low on the needle it will run rich 1/4 to 3/4 throttle.

@@HughesMotorized yes correct I noticed this problem just recently when my exhaust had broken just before expansion chamber started making brappp brappp noise at full speed

Good idea

It's called port matching..port the exhaust gasket so it will match the exhaust port on the cylinder as well as the intake side of exhaust..

Also you can use exhaust header wrap..it helps the heated exhaust air to travel throughout your exhaust faster..

Both

what oil/fuel ratio are you running

@@topdog3407 4oz per gallon. Its marine 2cycle oil.

Remove the cap off the end of the muffler and your supposed to have choke fully open

If you want your frame to be 180° lol

@@mitchellfultzable Yes I know the frame will get hot but wouldn’t it be cool no wires no exhaust pipe I think it can be done but you’re building 100% custom bike frame you might be able to get away with using one of those West Coast chopper bikes

Check for intake leaks first. Stock jet should idle even at 500ft

Bigger spark plug gap makes a bigger spark up to a point. The larger the gap, the more voltage is needed to jump the gap. Most experienced tuners know that increasing the gap size increases the spark area exposed to the air-fuel mixture, which maximizes burn efficiency

@@HughesMotorized This maybe cause any damage at the top of the cylinder?

adjust the carb needle, it affect it until about 3/4 throttle, move the clip up

@@bored496 I have tried every needle position. That's what I was referring to when I said clip position and notch.

I don't have any on hand.

Motorcycles have been running open for many years 1890s to 1960s bikes were pretty much all open

@HughesMotorized makes sense, probably for racing and short runs but for longevity I doubt there's too many dirt bikes in the trails or Highway bikes that run for many thousand Miles without an air filter of any kind, without any scoring from particles in the air getting into the draft of the intake

@@Classycardrawings BSA Gold Star, Royal Enfields, Ducatis, Moto Guzzi road bikes. Many came stock without a filter. Most before 1955 did

If you have the skills and do it right, then yes balancing can make for a better running engine. Is it mandatory? No. However some are better balanced than others from the factory

How much does your engine vibrate? Iv'e only had 1 bike engine so far but from what Iv'e read. I think I might have got 1 that is a bit better balanced than a dud engine. But I don't have any balanced crank bike engine to compare it to. It vibrates a lot if you rev it up with the clutch pulled in sitting still but most vibration goes away once I'm riding/moving. That's very similar to how my Buell/Harley V-twin engine is. Vibrates like crazy at idle & revved up in neutral but 90% goes away once you're in motion. I notice my 4hp, larger cc, 2 stroke snow blower seems to have less vibration than my bike engine. But just might be because it has rubber engine mounts. Wish I had a balanced 2 stroke bike engine to compare with. I guess I'm gonna spend $50 more on a VM22 carb & G2 reed kit. The windowed piston will be a slightly lighter, so I'm curious to see if I'll have slightly less vibration. I heard you can get just as much or more power than a reed kit by just using bigger/better carb & proper port work. But due to clearance issues, I'm gonna give a bigger carb/reed kit a try. If it'll get more power, slightly less vibration & stop engine from spitting gas out the carb. Then I think it'll be a win.

Yes. Sounds correct

Did you get a leaner jet? Did it fix it? Just learning about carbs / jetting rn.

Check out 2 Stroke Stuffing's channel.. I'm just a put it together, get it running good, custom bike kinda guy. More about the basics. Others like him, Ethan Smolik, and Don Butler are the pros at getting max performance.
