    Modifying the ADC spring tension

    When eliminating the governor completely and siliconing the hole closed, don't forget that over revving will stretch the spring on the automatic decompression mechanism mounted on the cam. All of a sudden you won't be able to start your engine. Too much compression. You need to replace the...

    Predator 212 Feels like it has too much compression

    I was just reading a post like this but it was a little different. So I put on my air filter, adapter, breather, new header and 18 lb springs, after tightening the rocker arms, I broke one and bent the rods. So I put the stock springs back in and rockers and rods from another honda clone. But...
