Re: Wasted Tuning?

I also wonder what the influence of primary compression ratios is on the performance results for any given motor, i.e. enlarging transfer feeds in casing and through transfer passage will reduce primary compression, which in itself may be of benefit or detrimental to performance.

Re: Effect of humidity and air temperature on carb performance

I was hoping that the G needle would have arrived before the weekend, however, the H needles + 8-hole atomiser have certainly helped. Sorry that I've not got more to report at the moment but the bike is certainly becoming more rideable.

Cheers for now.

Re: Suzuki 190

Had a couple of 190 conversions,one with a 150 barrel bored out,and one with a Tv175 barrel,both went very well,but the Tv barrel had the edge. What do you think is a realistic maximum bore for the small block cylinders? The reason that I ask is that as the result of a cock-up, I received a couple ...

Re: casa 265 ST

^... I had a similar issue with various stator and flywheel combos before the Spanish Euro. Lots of faultless running in until I started to test my freshly built spare stator, which gave me siezure issues.
