Buttoned up some things and took her out for a test spin today. No seat, and no pegs, flip flops, shorts, somewhat of a "governor" if you will on my throttle arm. (I also had to replace that this morning) I had measured the cable too short before soldering on the Mikuni end.
Jets are now 17.5, requires enrichment to start, but quickly warms to no enrichment required, and 125 on the main. It really runs sweet, smooth, and I find myself wondering if there is a shoe to drop. I have never had an easier Tecumseh build, (I do points engines) and yet with all of the off the wall stuff in this engine, it is by far the smoothest, least drama filled engine I've built.
It's a bit sluggish on the take off, but the power carries it on acceleration pretty well.
I'm limited on what I can do to alter gear ratios. On the JS input side, if I go any bigger the chain hits the engine plate, if I go smaller, I overdrive the output. Conversely, if I go smaller on the output side, the chain will hit the swing arm. That leaves the clutch, and I can go from 12 to 10 on that. And yes, I have modified the plate to accept these larger sprockets already.
I'll get the pegs done up, and get a seat on it, and see how it goes. I'm enjoying the heck out of this build, and I do appreciate the comments above and earlier. :thumbsup:
