The Italian Stallion, Olympyk 999

[srcarr52]

Now it's talking! You think it would like allitle more advance? Does it buck the starter much now?

No bucking at all. It actually starts easier, idles better and the carb was easier to tune. Overall a happier machine and I knew it as soon as I started it, the idle was up 1k from the previous outing.

I'm will pull the muffler and carb and look at the piston. If all is well I'll add a little more ignition timing. It's about 1/4-1/3 the keyway now so I got plenty of room to go forward.

Now the stallion may earn its feed. Thats much better.

Nice machine, and much nicer dialed in. I'll get in line behind Mark to play with it at the GTG!

Yup, I think I fixed it's hyperdrive. Soon it will hit light speed.

Smacked that chain pretty good on the first cut, runs strong too....

Very nice, and definitely getting stronger with each change. The second cut in the vid was a couple of seconds slower. I don't know if it due to the sparks at the end of the first cut or that you seemed to be pushing harder in the second cut.

I couldn't stop it... that was how hard I was pushing on it. It will not stall for anything... even with an 8 pin.

I checked... there was no metal in the 6x6 that the log was setting on so it was just the chain getting smacked against the log.

When I took the times in my video editor the second cut was .7s slower. Mostly because I wasn't pushing as hard at the end of the cut to avoid slapping the chain again. Still the first cut was .6s faster than any cut before which is almost a tie with my wild 288 that was running full comp.

Was the 288 running a 8 pin also?

Yup, 8 pin. Here is the video.
