well could be a few problems......(1)shift point set to high.......(2)most likely though if it was shifting b4 ur outta tune,mine wont shift if its too rich....try leaning her out a lil on ur HSN 1/8 turns at a time then test, dont over do it and keep ur eye open for smoke,no smoke= no engine

o and by the way the picco .21 is a good engine and if its screaming and lots of rpms and still lots of smoke shes probably dialed rite in,rich is good as long as ur still making power,rich means ur putting lots of lube to ur engine

A loose slipper clutch will make the engine "scream" but not allow 2nd gear.
