It was only 42deg. Fahrenheit, but I had to go for a little spin again today. Of course, as soon as I left home, the dry road turned wet, further out a drizzle, so I was thoroughly frozen when I returned after 45km.
Mostly around 55MPH but on the highway, I hit 70MPH, and at that speed it felt as I was barely moving the trottle into the needle area. There is a lot more power to be had, but I also feel I should let the engine bed in before I try WOT.
It accellerates really well, engine braking has entered the equation, something that I felt the stock trim lacked. Sounds good, today I noticed a bit of backfiring on decell, but that should be an easy fix, with the idle screw and perhaps a bigger idle jet.
The deep end grunt has diminished a bit - - perhaps, I have no data, so only an impression, but the way it behaves, I have no complaints.
Mike, you have used one of the Drag Specialities rev. counters
https://www.denniskirk.com/drag-specialties/electrical-mini-8000-rpm-tachomet... and I bought one too, from EBay If I remember right.
Reason I ask is mine doesn't work, it could be faulty as I assume, but thought I'd run it by you.
The signal that I measure with my scope on the "ground" wire looks like this: It is a 350V spike, about 8µS long. I belive this is what a revcounter expects to see to start counting.
The instrument boots up all right, with the pointer going through the full 270deg. movement, but it doesn't react to the input from the ignition coil
