too bad that is not why it was running bad, but it sure was not gonna help my gas mileage!!!!!!!!!!!
But that could have gotten really messy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you need to run a progamable ignition with a stroker?

Not necessarily, but a good ignition can make a big difference on any motor. Not just with strokers.:fing02:

Today from GroupK PWCtoday:
Cool, Harry got himself a FS-1 Rick Roy hull! Sounds like he is serious about this engine platform. I'm gonna test ride it!

I am glad they are trying to 'step up', but I am afraid it may be too little too late. People always have the mis-conception that big motors are bad expensive. There are people that do a turn key motor at 6mil bigbore w/EVERYTHING for 5600.00!!! Engine, fuel, ignition!!! That to me is a bargain.

Does piston weight come into play too? I would think that a stroker with the same capacity as stock stroke big bore would have much lighter pistons and therefore spin up faster (as well as making more torque). Or doesn't it make that much difference?
A stroker with the same displacement as a non-stroker will have more torque and slightly lighter pistons, though the rods could be longer/heavier.

I guess the increased moment of inertia of the stroker crank would also tend to offset the lighter pistons, although with the pistons actually changing direction every stroke they might be a bigger deal. It would be interesting to do the math to figure out which is optimal for rev up. I have a 15 flight to Korea this weekend so maybe I'll get bored enough to figure this out....

why would the rods be longer?

That's right. Usually anything 6mm and bigger will use long rods. More often than not they'll be Kawi 750 133mm rods.

In theory the longer rod keeps the piston parked at TDC for longer period of time,which produces more power it also puts less side load on the pistons which is an important factor on a stroker engine.Longer rod =longer piston life.
