I can't remember how to post pics from photo bucket, so I am giving it a whirl.[URL=http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/skitchfish/media/2498deea-ef95-4902-9944-54d6af85f321.jpg.html]

Well ok, that worked but seems huge! I thought i resized, it said 640 x 480. I am not seeing the thumbnail option in PhotoBucket. A little help please.
I can see the photo. It is of normal size and when I click on it it opens a new window and takes me to your photobucket.
It appears to be some sort of engine with a speed hole in the piston. Please advise what gains in performance you have experienced with this modification.

Yea, gotta little crazy with the walbro easy adjusting screws LOL. Sorry I didn't use a pic of a whole bike to test. Would you happen to know if there is still a thumb nail button in PhotoBucket? Any pic posting tips would be greatly appreciated 2Door. Thanks
Chaz, I'm fairly certain we probably shouldn't get into that as we are not really in the correct subject matter for the thread. I do not have any problem telling you it's just kind of lengthy and not appropriate here. When I figure out the pics I will start a thread on the carnage you saw on photobucket.
You are correct. I didn't mean to pry, but I can't resist an opportunity to use the phrase "speed hole".
Lol, lmao! You can't be inventing stuff like that or people will start drilling holes in the top of there pistons!
Everyone knows that 'speed holes' reduce the resistance of high compression. It stands to reason that if the piston has a hole in it there is less resistance as the piston travels upward in the cylinder therefor the engine should spin faster. Right?
I think you're onto something, Skitchfish.

Actually, I got the idea from the Simpsons. A minute or two after this clip Homer is at home putting speed holes in his car with a pick axe. The basic theory, however, is universal. I never thought to put one in the piston though. And thanks Tom for clearing up the details.

My "speed hole" looks much different than that.....it's located nowhere near the piston, butt un-burned gasses pass through it much the same and it's methane gas and contains no ethanol.
I would post a pic, butt too much hair is blocking the hole and photobucket does not use thumbnails anymore......thank goodness!

I hope some new builder doesn't read this thread and not get the humor and go drill a big hole in his piston.

I've heard that some of those skirts can get really noisy even though it is a silent piston. There was a problem with really high maintenance in some cases also.
