Loss of power at high rpm... ahh.

Post by QuickDraw » Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:56 am

Ok. Maybe this had something to do with the severe loss of power over 6500 on the track the other week. Ramflo foam socks blown apart by cold start back-fire, and the left top sucked down hard against the mesh over the bell-mouth. Plugs corroborate the shortage of air at the left carb too. Any recommendations for better filters over the bell-mouths? Might be better leaving them open next race.
