Looking over the DLE last night. the ring is very thick. A new thinner ring would help in the power part but would require a new piston.
Yes the gap less rings would require special setup to run in a two stroke. I remember reading somewhere about someone making a special ring pack to be gap less just cant find it again. This was early on when the DLE came out with the V1 30. On this size of engine I now dont think it would be that much of an improvement. The thinner ring correctly gapped would be better. I was looking for a programable ignition for running three spark plugs in the the engine. there is room in the cmabe for them but untill i am racing on this engine it isnt worth the trouble right now. for the extra weight of the two extra ignition units i could just instal the 55. I will look at a larger carb of clean up the stock one. work on the porting some. the exhaust is very narrow. I didnt measure the ports yet though. I will order some bowman rings today.
