Default Re: Slanthead Tuning

I originally ordered a head from those guys. I to had a pinging sound as well with one gasket. Sad to say that motor sprung a bearing seal leak at the out put drive sprocket bearing seal. So now I am on a Zoom engine as well The bearing/seals look of a diff design than I have recently paid attention to. The Zoom engine was of a bit of a fit I was having and Knowing of entertaining Chinas The heads were not available at the time. So I ordered a complete kit. The original motor ran hella strong. I did re jet to .029 thousands on the carb. The new motor breaking in already runs much like the old one. No scavenging at all unless the engine is still cold once warmed up .............250 pounds I am 85 pound bike = If shifted right in one neighborhood block 30 plus miles an hour on a average day. I have a SBP j shaft too with some mods. They were not entirely necessary BUTT I am a big boy!
