Need help tuning my tron mobile I run 4 ounces of oil to a gallon of gas I ride then come home check my plug and its black with brown tip
Hi there! I was hoping you could help me. What is a Martin Road Runner Whizzer worth? I have one that is complete less fenders, carb, and timing chain cover, but needs full restoration.
my problem is if I'm goin to fast it allows me to slowly keep pedaling & won't pop until I'm almost to a Stop. Is it the Clutch DAK?
Hello again, have another question for you. Also wanted to let you know that I heeded your advice regarding my silencer set up, and it is working well. I just ordered a 6cc high compression head, and it will be arriving today. Its the same one you spoke to Kelly Dean about on this forum in October 2019.

James a fresh plug would be good, but cleaning and gapping the old plug can work also to tell what you've got now after the head and gasket swap.

I'd expect it to run better, but that's a part of reading the plug. Running lean is what you want to avoid I like a bit rich & just a little oily. Others differ with me but I've found my engines last well when setup this way.

A couple of guys that I warned about running without enough oil in the mix just a couple of months ago are already having to replace cylinder and rings. The engines run real fast for a short while on thin oil mix ratios then won't run at all.
I have a motorized Schwinn Del Mar beach cruiser I purchased from Letgo. It ran ok when I first got it and all of a sudden it won't start ?
Hi I noticed on a post of yours from a while back you were running the f2 thrust exhaust. I was hoping to run a similar setup to yours with the silencer on the end. Whats the easiest and cheapest way to do this, and does it negatively effect performance. Please let me know. Ive seen you all over these forums and respect your opinion.

Yes the muffler does restrict power a bit, but was worth it to tame the roar! I used a kit muffler, cutoff the pipe on the muffler and the "stinger" pipe on the x-pipe but left a 1.5" stub on each to connect them, insert one stub inside the other and then welded. You need a support bracket mounted to the frame or you will break the cylinder at the exhaust port. This setup has worked well for me.
