Doing some tweaking to my ride while I suffer out the time of keeping it 49cc.
Currently the valves are at .003 and I'm getting an exhaust backfire on deceleration + valve slap over 7k rpm. I'd like to open them up a bit but not sure on where to put them for best performance to meet my needs, which brings me around to the sliders.
My current variator weights(rollers) have a few flat spots on them, which makes for a rather wobbly ride when there's a bit of resistance (up hill). They are 7G weights. My "problem" right now is that my RPM's are at about 8k when I'm doing roughly 30mph(I'm about 210lbs), and I'd like to rectify that without losing (hopefully gaining) up hill power. The real powerband of this engine feels like it's right in the 6.5-7K RPM range.
Can I go with a stiffer clutch spring to "beef up" my low range power and go to a heavier weight slider to sustain lower RPMs at higher speeds? I'm really trying to nail a perfect medium here and I'm not sure which combo of things will give it to me. Any suggestions?
