A BIT OF SIL 200 TUNING

[Darrell Taylor]

hi mick id prefer a 30mm dellorto on a piston port ,the pwk has a relatively small float bowl and needle valve and being a bit thirstier than the reed at risk of fuel starvation ,if you have one set the float to maximum u can get away with
i used an asso 1.5mm ring piston that ive seen come out of some high mileage tuned barrells in good order so safe enough on a tune to suit it

Did you test ride it with both exhausts Darrell?

[Darrell Taylor]

i didnt get chance to but the chap who built the motor did and the owner did both were quite dissapointed whilst fitted with the clubman but amazed with the final set up on the ads3

heres the piston window i added

Hi Darell, I hope you don't mind me asking but is this piston at BDC ?

[Darrell Taylor]

hi chris
i dont think it was at bdc but if you wished to put a similar window into your piston you could gauge it from the the gudgeon pin position,the window i did is an odd shape to match the inlet shape but a little smaller on one side to give strength to the piston where there wasnt much meat,there is a crank angle thats most beneficial for the inlet to be clear at so i try to maximise clearance at this point so sometimes a window sometimes a skirt cutaway and sometimes both
cheers Darrell

what sort of final drive ratio have you recomended for this tune and pipe?

[Darrell Taylor]

i didnt recommend any gearing its down to personal preferance sometimes and this chap chose to leave it on std set up
but with that power/rpm should be fine in the 4.8 area

ok thanx,it was the ads3 i was really picking your brains with as ive just built a motor with one,it has a stage 4 italian gp200 barell on and ive done a 4.4 final drive....maybe a tooth to far.....shall give it a go

it might pull it but give a feeling of constantly been a gear too high ,im not a fan of overgearing,think of it like a moped with enough max power to do 50 mph you woudnt gear it for 70 as it would still only do 50 but struggle to pull top gear and be like a slug getting there
yet many scoots are set up on 90/100mph gearing yet realistically most will do 65-85 max

Good work Darrell are you happy with it?
