The new welder kept popping the breaker so I installed a step up transformer that took my 240 volt single phase service and bumped it up to 480 volts. This should allow the welder to run at full capacity without tripping the breaker and cut the power bill in half.
Got the engine all back together and it turns over alot smoother now. Still doesn't fire correctly, but I may have found an answer. I'm thinking the magnet on the flywheel I'm using to trigger the pickup is too long.
The instructions call for a 3/8" round magnet. I think the long bar magnet on the flywheel is confusing the control module.
I ordered a magnet to try and install on the flywheel. Fingers crossed
My understanding its not the longer stroke that makes more torque its the displacement being larger that makes more torque.
It would be the same if you took a short stroke engine and bored it out. The end result would be more torque.
Shorter strokes have been proven to yield higher rpm's.
My guess why you didn't see a difference between those two different stroke cranks would be due to this oiling systems design and how bad it is.

I feel compelled to comment about strokers... A longer stroke DOES make more torque. It's all about leverage, pure and simple. When you increase stroke, you increase leverage, which increases torque. This is a constant, no exceptions.
A bigger bore does not make more torque in and of itself.
As a rule, stokers will make much better bottom end power
but for a given bore size they will run out of air faster at higher rpm than a short stroke will... Therefore a shorter stroke motor will build more rpm.
Torque=force=work,
Simple math, HP=Torque x rpm
Yes, its a simplification. But, mechanical advantage is not that small a contributor. Take an 80" Shovel or Evo, and stroke it to 88". Next, take that 88"motor and big bore it to 93". On the street, tell me which one made the biggest difference with all other variables remaining the same. I promise the stroker will be more impressive in that setting.This is an oversimplification and mechanical advantage is a small part of the overall equation. The video Mammoth posted above is a very good explanation of why.
I agree with you. But to take it another step, with increased mechanical leverage it will be more effortless for the engine to build torque.When it's increasing displacement, yes it does(it's not clear if that's what you mean). Force = pressure × area. Piston area increases so force on the crank throw increases. More force applied to a torque arm means more torque.
Big bore usually means bigger elves, better breathing, and better VE.All else being constant, how does one "run out of air" before the other?
You are correct sir.No, horsepower = (torque × RPM) ÷ 5252.
Torque is going to increase when displacement increases regardless of how the displacement is gained.But, mechanical advantage is not that small a contributor.
