We ran a green plate race a few weeks ago on a 1/4 mile and 17/63 was where we needed to be. 5800 rpm all night.more than likely put him outta his power and momentum range. Usually 2 higher than normal for red and green. The 17 combo maybe ??? I wouldn’t go 16.
Yes a dover Carb is good.
But it takes the total package. Call Jerry and let him know exactly what you have in your engine. Very Knowledgeable and will get you going.
How many times in the past Al have the experts informed you that compression is not the holy grail in this engine??? Some of the builders are pre loading the valves so that statement is not accurate. Stop telling people that about the cloneWhenever I was slow at the track the first thing I did was check the compression pressure. You need a "good" gauge! Compression is the HHoly Grail
And why do you keep telling people that compression is not important? Why do you suppose tech inspectors do cc checks if not to make sure people don't exceed the stock compression? Why do to leak down tests? Why do people consider the leak down test so important if not for compression? Why do you think ring seal is so important if not for compression? I wish you would quit telling people it's not important! lol.How many times in the past Al have the experts informed you that compression is not the holy grail in this engine???

Al I raced my first kart in 1961 at the age of 10. I raced my first car at 13 . Built it also. . so don't tell me about experience . The last time I raced was last Saturday, Open modified Animal that I built! the next race will be tomorrow night. Again Open modified animal.Not that I don't appreciate your efforts to educate me, but I've been doing this for over 50 years, I believe I know what I'm talking about.
The compression release does present a problem, but that problem is easily overcome.
The leak down test is good, I don't deny that, it's just that it's slow and cumbersome to perform between the heats. The compression test, on the other hand, is a quick and easy way to tell if there's a problem with the rings and/or the valves. "Even with a compression release".
With your experience and expertise, I'm pretty sure it would be pretty much a waste of my time trying to educate you. I think I'll pass!Al I raced my first kart in 1961 at the age of 10.

Now you said the compression release is easily overcome? Tell me how! Why don't you educate me.
