No engine runs well immediately. They all need to warm up. I've never had serious issues with SH engines. NEVER the restart issue. That's a tuning issue, or something else.. I even sold an old Mach 427 a few years ago with a new Aftershock carb, and it ran great(have video somewhere...)
So HerrSavage I understand every engine has to warm up before running well, but i think having a pig rich tune, as rich as going 4stroke at start and bogging during runs, and already have the engine overheated... Well THAT is not a tuning issue I think.
But you already said it can be something else... was it generally talking or do you suggest other things to chech?

All this talk about composite carbs is suspect and frankly disingenuous IMO - spread inititially by one person in particular, then picked up on and regurgitated by his sycophants. I have had like eight SH engines over the years, and no they don't idle fantastically, but for the money they have great power and reliability - AND they are easy to break in and tune.
So you mean composite carbs are just a workaround and they don't solve the problem? I already thought this because the fuel path to the engine combustion chamber comprises other high-temperature parts of the engine, so if the fuel doesn't boil in a composite carb, it will do in the crankshaft or in the crankcase itself. Am I correct?
Anyway it makes me feel unlucky to know that those engines are so easy to tune - in fact mine seems to be the one less easy to tune!
Thanks anyway
