Fuel Wildcat 10% with 18% full synthetic
Exhaust adapted twin FA 30 mufflers
Plugs Glow Devil for Saito/ Enya
Max rpm after 30 minutes run time a solid 7,950
Idle, not set yet, 30 degree air too cold for hands
Beautiful purr and smooth as silk.
Left cylinder smokes more than the right one, an inquiring mind will investigate.


Running at 6,000 rpm.
Will it preform identical without the muffler back pressure.?
Start, run , and produce similar rpm numbers?
Very curious.
