And last point: you're right, this engine obviously suffers from a design problem, but it's also a challenge for me to get it to work properly. And that's also part of the pleasure ...
I agree in that it's a challenge to get the engine running right, not so much a pleasure spending a ton of money to do it though! lol
I did look into what MMS was doing as far as using the crankcase as part of the intake system and I think that's a much better system than stock, but shortly after that MMM came out with his intake mod along the same general design.(?) I was under the impression they were cooperating with one another on that mod.
