    Yeah I think I got a lemon! it sucks! It cannot pressurize the fuel tank properly thats why the fuel supplied from the tank to the engine is slow resulting to engine cut-off or engine stutter.. I can literally see the fuel line dry out of fuel during high rpm..

    But the good thing is it does add more power because when I installed it, it dramatically changed the acceleration you can really notice the power change.. And another one is the noise, it really makes the storm SCREAM louder, really really loud!

    Status: offline     		Yakfish any updates on your new engine? performance?

    I went to the OS website and saw that there is a .18cvrx that has a SHORT crank shaft,

    http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg2105.html

    Im just wondering if this will be the right engine for the storm because you don't have to cut the crank shaft to make the pilot shaft fit.. What do yuo guys think?

    How come you switched back to the standard tyres?
