When i had it dyno'd first I had a PM pipe on and we only did one run without the air filter on and dont think there was anywhere near as much spit back as I have now with the JL3 but not 100% sure as it was 4-5 months ago. Maybe it is the pipe hopefully Diablo will sort it out this week. FOCKIN SCOOTERS££££££££££££

What re working ? mine doesn't rev like it did prior to reed valve .Im still running the Ancilotti and 24mm TM,

Larger inlet port & piston cut and modded (similar to Jason frosts in his link) this will let the port breath better & for longer...

Have you enlarged the inlet port height or is it still standard.

Enlarged and matched to reed block.

Prior to new piston and reed block it was a standard SR piston..with added slap!!..running around 175 exhaust 150 inlet 124 transfer.

I am guessing the now shorter barrel for the Jap piston has dropped the exhaust timing? it runs a 60mm 107mm rodded crank. It has been an engine developed over time in stages, hence the mix of components and just to see what could be achieved with these kits .

It pulls like a train, just runs out of steam a bit ??

Jason, if it isn't a daft question, I'm using the 6 petal malossi petals and have been running it with the carb in a horizontal position. I'm now wondering if it is supposed to be the other way up to provide a downdraft but it would mean the PHBH being at a sidaeways angle, is that right do you know :?

Yes, that's what I meant, with the rubber inverted you get a direct path straight into the cylinder. My 28 PHBH will fit but would need to sit at a very twisted angle as iut's quite a tall carb and the toolbox and long range tank get in the way :roll:

I've since looked at Mr B's blog on Facebook and all the pictures on there show the rubber fitted in the horizontal position so I guess I was right in the first place 8-)

Loz,
What piston are you running, and how much was the barrel shortened?
I am running a SR175 ported by Geoff Stephens at present. Crank is 60mm Mec with 107 rod. Have a homemade reed valve manifold with MB cage/rubber i want to use on it and thought RD350 piston may be the way to go. Do not want to rip engine apart to re-rod.

Cheers, Andy.
