maybe with someone of your weight on it Laughing



the flat spot is bad around 4-7k but isnt that great at full throttle through the entire rev range,
it sort of gets to half throttle and then dosent get any more powerful after half throttle(if that makes sence)

yeah the problem might be compression, its due for a full rebuild, can i just put oversize piston and rings in it instead of buying a shiny new expensive cylinder?

Hi

Full throttle at low revs with a slide carb (ie, what is on most 2 strokes) is useless. The engine isn't turning over quickly enough for the carb to work properly.

With the barrel really you need to know how worn it is (if at all, the plating shouldn't wear much) and then find out what piston and rings you need.

All the best

Keith

yeah i kinda knew it was characteristic of a 2 stroke but it does seem particuluy bad

its almost like it feels like it pulls less when ya open it right up than at half throttle

It is a characteristic of slide carbs.

At low revs if you were on full throttle and backed off I would expect it to gain power, but not at high revs.

As Alains suggests, do a compression check. Easy to do, and could reveal a problem.

All the best
