Thankfully the Scunny fans seem pretty fair minded and have congratulated us on the win. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 There has been additives made to improve the BHP on road bikes increasing the octane levels. Their is also cooler blankets used to keep the temperature at a lower level when racing in hotter climates. Obviously, methanol is different but gains can be made. Nitro was an additive used before where it was mixed with the Methanol, or mixed with the oil or even sprayed onto the air filter. Small particles , small gains but they make a difference. Even allowing more air to lean a carburettor by using a slim sleeve/shim in the clamping & altering your jet can make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll young Connor Bailey is with us in our post match celebrations and is quite miffed at missing out on these fuel additives , not very fair that not spreading them around the whole team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twelve months ago almost to the day we went into a last heat decider at Scunny and Harris made an arse of it being picked off by both Scorps. Thankfully we now have a top 2 who now bring home the bacon more often than not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong choice of words as that would flood the carb. May be using a smaller jet & altering the ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most started with small jets but engines were too strong so Yes it Floods the engine but slows a really strong engine down will pull on the slick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing better than a good old pull on the slick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
