freak boy plastic fan on metal fly. ok finally road tested with comp, reads 21mph. yeah, a bit disappointed. if the comp is working right which i don't think it is, i am getting around 3700rpm. .... sad. as far as removing fins, when moving the fins are not necessary, so if you don't take a long time warming up, shouldn't be a problem

ok, reinstalled my stock head. had a bowed pushrod. replaced it. it cranks and dies. last time this happened i yanked the governor. started raining so i will check my lash again soon. in setting after swap, i noticed coil binding on the exhaust, so i loosened it up a bit. cranking on it, sent some fuel out of the carb so that is too tight for sure.
loosened the intake. ran without breather assembly, 20mph. reinstalled breather, 21.4 avg with 22.5 max. seems to like uphill better than down. speedo anyway. died on me once. restarted no problem. next i will try the oe muffler.

What are your gear and tire sizes..?

Hmm... I don't know how tire sizes work, but it should be running faster than that, I'd think..

What do you mean by 35.75/608 for tire size? Just tell me in inches, like 12" 14" etc. Either way, you have about 6:1 gearing, unless you have like 12" tires you should be going faster. With my governed engine, 6:1 gearing, and 15" tires i do about 25-28mph.

5 30w synthetic in my clone. It runs good with it, might be a little thin, I'd get 10 30w, but I have alot of this light oil.

I got 10w30 in mine. But 35" circumference is like 12" diameter isnt it? That would make sense speed wise if the engine was governed, But ungoverned...i dont know.

Yes, stock ungoverned.
