Don,
I don't have a governor on any bike I have!...BUT, I build them to take the rpm's with billet components. I applaud G_M for trying to make some power out of this engine, but you of anybody here knows that there is "no replacement for displacement"...right? you didn't try to run a 2.3 when everyone else is at 5 litres,,,right?
I ran a 2.3 Ford at 9k rpm every Sat night at Evergreen Speedway for a couple years... Makes good power up there.
I did show genuine concern his well being and tried to make sure that no one twisted the throttle on the bomb!
I understand where your comment is placed. He is not trying for 7k+ rpms out of it, but yes, more than stock.
I think G_M is a bit misguided, and wants us to agree with him and cheer him on...so I am going to do just that! But I want some pics! Fair enough?
I am not cheering him on. I am trying to help him though. I have already asked him for pics.
G_M...that engine will rev to the moon! Don't worry about the clutch, not much you can do to them, as once they are locked there is no balancing needed...and more power will get you locked up quicker. Another member has a Mikuni carb in the for sale section...that would give you airflow required to reach your goals...parts are plentiful and cheap.
I am sending him a carb and intake, and possibly a jackshaft setup(if it will fit) to help with the hill issue.
Let's see a pic of your ride! I don't know too many minis that won't accomodate a Pred 212 motor.
Do you need any parts? If so, please let me know...if I have it, I will send it!
