Default RE: Project poulan

Just got back from testing. Not much improvement. I think that I need to work on the intake. It seemed like something was "holding it back" Im going to search for a good starting point for intake timing. Im also going to try modifying the intake manifold as well.
One thing I thought of doing was cutting grooves in the manifold (kind of like rifling) I think Edelbrock makes a carb spacer for small block engines that incorporates this design. They claim that it improves power by helping the fuel atomize better. I dont know if it will help a 2 stroke as much, but its worth a shot i guess. I have lots of manifolds, so if it doesnt work I can replace it.
