Now you're taking. Those numbers look good to me. I think I got 11,550rpm on a 2-blade 12x6, so that's right in line with a little more nitro and an extra blade.

How was the mess coming off the front crank bushing while running?

You will likely lose power if you use a different muffler on the Sportster engine. You could try it though.

Nice! I'm surprised you picked up that much power! What did you do port work on - just the muffler itself?

I have one of these engines I'd be willing to part with and its just like the nib version at the beginning of this thread. No number/size designation just the "G29065" on the mounting lug and then a "2" on the back plate. Its got the motor mount style back plate. Appears to have very little use on it if any. If I dont get any responses here I was thinking about putting it on Ebay but I'm in no hurry.

G29065 K&B
