You MUST cut holes in the piston (or buy a TS1 piston) AND re-work the inlet port in order to get back some of the losses caused by the reed valve at higher revs.

3 months I have been thinking and thinking, why not give the desired power
Carburator???, filter??? , to complete the engine running ???
and this week I I think on this Red-Valve , for what no work well ???
the engine is a bull on machine stop,,,, is Ben Johnson,,,Ufff uffff Image, the wheel to up when the loosen clutch
but when I start runing on the road
can not over 55 km/h :o :o :o :o :o
I am sorry to lose this power, if extract the Red-Valve . I think if re-couples a piston Ts1 the consumption can shot-up
¿Is this really???? and other question,,, if I change the sheets for others on less mm of thickness,,,¿that? I can solve a little
the "Problem" ??? Regards
