Default RE: Project poulan

Sorry i didnt get video. I forgot to charge my camera. The test went ok, but i need to improve the performance of this engine. The 14-8 only put out a mere 7.5 lbs @ 8300rpm, and the 16-8 did just under 10lbs @ 7200rpm. I was thinking about this engine after, and was wondering at what rpm the rev limiter kicks in? it doesnt surge or piss around at 8300. When the limiter is hit, does it just stay at a steady rpm? or is it kinda like a car? I honestly think that if it will turn a 16-8@7200 it should spin that little 14-8 a little more than that. I ordered a 16-6 today, to see what it will do. I get my props at a very good price, so i would rather try everything before tearing down the engine again.
