Sweet.
How long before I give in?;)

what did you use for sealant on the headgasket? i used copper spray from napa

did you clean all the soot off your head before bolting it back down? yes i used scotch brite pads and then clean all surfaces with thinner and try not to touch anything

how are you planning on breaking it in? i let it run up to operating temp then i let it cool then run it around a little at 1/4 throttle then again at no more then half
This has always worked for me but everyone has there own opoin on this subject

how did you change your jetting i talked to a guy on here and he was running the stock carb with the 351 kit i used 132 main 35 pilot needle in middle clip air screw 2 turns out

bike has alot more bottom end power it needs one of them pumper carbs u can lug it down more in tight spots front end comes up alot better

I run the stock carb and stock pipe and my baseline is:
40 pilot, airscrew 1 turn, DJ needle full lean, 132.5 MJ

Hmmm the aussie dollar is becoming stronger against the Greenback again ... could
be worth it very shortly ...

D.

Indeed it is.
I can see the credit card copping a hammering soon.:rolleyes:

Thanks for the answers QZ87... !!!

have fun with your new machine!
