My mods so far
Well, so far, my engine is a predator 212cc (old style). I have gone to a billet connecting rod, with wiseco flat top piston. billet flywheel w/ 7 degree timing key (probably will play with that a little more), mod 2 cam (I've heard the black mamba is good??), racing carb (.625, replaced Etube, jet is currently 37), header, racing air filter, high compression head milled .40, and changed my valves to 32mm and 25mm. Also have a medium heat racing spark plug. I have removed the govorner
I still need to figure out my jetting, but still dont have anything to get a head temp reading to help? I know people say you need a reading of around 400? When and how do you take that reading?
I know I can still mill the block itself, but not sure if I want to yet? The bottom to the top of the head is .200, the gasket is.035, and the gap between the piston at TDC and block is .030, so I figure I have some play room there to mess with.
Anyway that's what I have right now... Any suggestions on what to do next outside of getting my jetting right (is there a way without getting a head temp reading? I know read the spark plug, but anything else?)
