[Danger]

malossi 210 wont go over 55 any ideas , just been rebuilt new crank , bearings , seals new piston , new malossi head , new sip evo pipe ,30mil delly
40 slide
x7 needle second clip
55 pilot
128 main
70 choke
av264 atomiser
300 float needle valve

im pretty sure piston is on the right way up with cutouts facing up ,around town the engine seems fine through all the gears its just when you go to open it up an go past 55 its as if the piston is sticking or sumit an wont go over

went down to my mates today an took his 210 out for a spin after i changed the float needle valve to a 250 an up,d the main to a 130 didnt make any differance , flies through first and second gear but wont pull third or fourth to well like its loosing power would it have anything to do with the new pipe that i fitted to it a JL EVO S.I.P lefthander anybody got any experience with one of these exhausts, the reason im asking is before the rebuild it filled the clock an that was with a badly setup 28mil spaco and an old rusty pm pipe any help would be great thanks

What gearing you using? Only asking as the original P200 65/23 might not be right for your pipe. Im using 68/22 with a JL right hander and it flies.

as far as im aware its still using its standard 200 gearbox, how would i get the gearing that you mentioned or what gears do i need to use thanks

my malossi 210 uses 23/64 malossi upgear with t5 fourth rz mark2 pipe , very happy with how it goes 75+ mph

You need to change your primary to a T5/Px125 primary gear which is a 68 tooth. After that change your clutch to a 22 tooth one. You could change your 4th gear to a T5/PX125 one as well ( I have but would like to try it with the p200 4th gear). Not sure about the top speed of mine as its of the clock and without GPS cant say for sure but on the Dyno it hit 91mph.

thanks for that li150 , i can see that helping forth gear but will it also help third gear pull as its like hitting a brick wall so to speak in third , as i said before it revs clean from idle , flies through first and second gear then bang like going from second to forth in third

Danger, I'll get on to Ivan to see about getting the timing set, if there's a new crank in it then the casing markings aren't worth anything. Did you know he has no head cowling on it, maybe a good job he can't rev it right out I'd guess it's the pipe and it's just not catching the power band in 4th, T5 4th is prob the way to go, surely it would be screaming it's nuts off on 125 primaries

[Danger]

alrite john yeah that would be great he really needs that timing set 17 or 18 degrees , ive seen loads of tuned motors with no head cowling on really not sure that it will do any harm , i to think that its that pipe he really doesnt want to think that it could be the exhaust after spending all that money on it an who could blame him but we will see

Peak power output the malossi cylinder is produced @ 7000rpm with most exhausts available today.
There is a 10mph differance in the gearing at that rpm of the P2 & the T5 4th gears. Thats 80mph P2 or 70mph T5 4th gear.

This is why the engine would have to be screamed passed 65mph in 3rd to catch 4th & pull.
It is why the T5 4th has been a standard fittment in our 210 motors since the mid 90's.

I have just rebuilt a 210 Malossi reed engine for Jason Ude & it had standard gearing in & he suffered the same problem.
Now fitted with the T5 4th & he cannot beleive that it's the same scoot as it now flies!
