Sharpening the splitting ram has worked pretty good. Now it slices knots. It was kind of blunt and just ripped them apart and/or crushed them until the wood yielded.
Still having a heck of a time getting smaller carb jets. All the go-kart performance stuff is ridiculously over jetted. I have a 0.026'' or 0.65mm jet. I need something smaller than that, anything, i dont care. The smallest after market jet I can find is a 28 thousands, appears to be intended for a suped up 160cc go-kart engine.
So I ordered both 4,000 to 6,000ft and a 6,000 to 10,000ft jets for my engine. But they are on back order so who knows when those will come in. I'm at 4,400ft.
I'm going to see if I can gut out the muffler to get some more air flow. There's probably a spark arrestor in there I can take out.
I run the engine with the warm air intake cover off. I get soot around exhaust with the WAI cover on. I might as well run CAI and get the power if I'm going to be wasting fuel.
