I'm running a JXF 22x8 at 7650rpm on stock exhaust. It takes a few gallons. I started at 6950rpms.
I am new to gas engines and I've just ordered my DL-50 but isn't 7650 rpm's too high to run this engine. It sounds under propped. I was under the impression that these engines should run in the low 7000's.
Low 7000's is where I like them. It's gotta be pretty loud at 7650 on a stock exhaust but what a ton of power, sheesh. These are potent engines.
