I purchased a second one of these kits because I liked the first one so much! I hope to try it tomorrow in my 46" mono. I will post the results here.

Last weekend didn't go to well. I had carburetor problems that prevented me from being able to shut the engine down. I'll try again next weekend.

Ran my Hydro today for the first time with the upgrade kit, can't give it a good review yet as I only ran two tanks of fuel both on the rich side and the first one real easy as a break-in. Water was dead flat which my hydro is not crazy about. Will see as I sort things out. Will have to lean it out some and i have a feeling I will have to make my pipe a little longer, will see, didn't seem to have the torque I expected, but could be the ring/cly still little tight and not broken in yet or the pipe too short for this raised roof exhaust cyl. head.
