aftershock
hi everyone
i just buyed a used aftershock, it 'looks brand new' the quy told me he only break it in
today i try it and the temps go up to 320F
what is the normal operating temps for these engine ?
do you think its only the tuning or may i have an air leak ?
thanks

RE: aftershock
No thats way too high. temps should be about 250. No more than 280max. You need to retune the motor to your area. You need to slightly retune every time the temps change. Sounds lean when temps up that high. It could hav an airleak but these engines dont run that hot and are not known for leaks.

RE: aftershock

then i try adjusting the low speed needle, i turn it as rich as i can without loosing too much performence put my problem is :
when i WOT and release it, it try to rev high without making a nice sound, like if it was too lean
i dont know what to do ... help me please!

RE: aftershock
yeah but why is it revving high when i let off the trottle after wide open trottle ?
while its revving high if i press the trottle about 75% its goes back to normal
edit: and now i dont hear it shift into 2nd gear, wich needle is too rich?

RE: aftershock
If its not shifting into second and temps are too cool then your high speed is rich. If you let off throttle and idle is high then low speed is lean. Sounds like you have both needles out of wack.

RE: aftershock
The Aftershocks 2 Speed Hub for the Spur Gears is Plastic and has an Alum Ring that the Second Gear shoes sit in......I think that after it gets Hot it Warps and doesnt Keep it's proper Shape.....(Causing it Not to shift Properly & get stuck in one gear)
Aftershock Vs. LST2
Up grade to the LST2 2 Speed and you Shouldn't have anymore Shifting problems
(You'll need the LST2 Hubs & Spurs)
