Ideally you need the correct piston for the barrel, if you've melted the piston crown I don't think you'll be able to see which letter it was??? Perhaps you could have it measured by a grown up and work it out from there? As for carb settings......... last 172 reed I played with had 40 slide, 50 idl...

I think the barrel should be stamped with the corresponding letter mate, all down to tolerances I think.

Never had an issue with Shell, in fact I seek it out, mind I only use the super not the fuelsave cak.

Bollox, that's why I've never been able to tell the time

Sorry, had a bit of a brain fart/senior moment.

Turning clockwise advances timing so if you've turned your stator by 5 degrees you're now running at 21 degrees BTDC, not good.
Retard it back to standard kid.

Anything that isn't a PM or made of stainless.

Only just noticed you've got it reeded.......... I'd bin the simmo, it's going to be strangling the poor beast.

On another note, mine lost no top end but gained bottom end on a 28mm, slightly better on go juice too.

67/21 = 3.19:1
67/22 = 3.05:1

It'd definately help keep you in the power band and be better on hills and into a headwind.

Had 21/68 on mine and it went like s**t off a chrome stick (with a Taffy Goldline).........
21/68 = 3.24:1
22/68 = 3.09:1
23/67 = 2.91:1

I'd say that yes you are a bit overgeared.
