RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

yeah, it still is stamped as such but it's an I beam style vs sort of an oval type like earlier models.

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

Mine was in a hybrid type. It still had a bolt on fan shroud but used twin piston rings with the slits in the cylinder. It was by MTD (who made these Ryobi engines). I would suspect than any newer...

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

Well so far i have not heard of any problems with the newer rod exploding. Perhaps it just needs more time but my engine is at least a testament that the newer ones are much stronger.

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

Was that one with revised 'I beam' style con-rod or the original pressed type? Assuming it was the rod that let go as that seems to be the weak point. I am running the newer type and run in excess...

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

My ryobi does well over 8000 RPM and i have not thrown a rod yet (touch wood) but my engine is the newer type with 'I' beam style rod and twin piston rings, not the older style.

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

The number stamped on the venturi is the size of the carb in 64ths of an inch - i.e 32/64ths = 1/2"

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

While it's getting a little OT i'll add my experiences with octane and ethanol:

Ethanol is ok apart from the fact that it tends to harden the fuel pump diaphragm in the carb. However, if you...

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

All walbro carbs are measured in 64ths of an inch - Meaning a 32 is a 1/2" carb. This is an easy way to tell how big they are when you're sifting through the second hand ones at your local repair...

RE: another darn ryobi post (ryobi performance modification, analysis and comparison)

I wonder if that is the 'older' style rods though? I have been using the newer one for a long time and never had a problem. I only ran for a short time on the old style rod. It would be interesting...

RE: Spektrum SR300 antenna mod?

Well, i done some range testing using my drifter. So far, i have not been able to go far enough to get it to drop out. I was running it at around 150m away from me and still not a problem at all. ...

RE: Spektrum SR300 antenna mod?

Wasn't Spektrum's first release a 2ch surface?? I thought their air models came in later? I wasn't in to Air back then but that's what i thought.

RE: Need help with T-maxx 2.5

It would have if you let it rev enough to get into second.

RE: Need help with T-maxx 2.5

I know this is an old thread but i have seen this before. The reason it 'jerks' into gear is because that's second gear! Basically, the one way bearing in the trans is shot so it spins on the shaft...
