I just ordered riser bars and a heavy duty steering cable for this.
I hope to install it before the weekend.

Not yet, but it's close. I hate breaking a steering cable and then having to wait on a replacement.
Call it preventive spending of wads of money, lol.

Finally is right! You've been sitting on that thing for how long now?

I may just have to build a bigger motor and keep the current one on the shelf as a backup when the time comes. :sneaky:

I remember you showing me that cylinder in your shop two years ago!
I hope it runs good, didn't bore it just assembled with good used crank. I also don't know what the compressions gonna be, perhaps a bit soft since I used 35cc domes that were clearanced for 83mm.

I have the same formula and it came out to 200psi...they were 205 plus before I had the 35's cut for 83mm.

i was wondering why you said the none resistor plugs where making backfires. they shouldn't because i thought the oem wires have resistor caps.

FYI to ATP Flame users: I tried running non-resistor plugs with 7.5k resistor terminals (OEM off an 1100) last weekend, and it didn't work.

Well, the lpw porting does raise the exhaust ports a tad, so I think it will bleed off enough to keep it ok, 33 was the reccomended size if I recall.

hey matt that is weird, does it backfire? so what do you have to use non resistor caps and resistor plugs? I have always used resistor plugs on the msd until about 2 months ago when i replace the msd wires. i don't believe the msd had resistor caps. now i am running it the other way around with the non resistor plugs and hotwires with somesort of digital interference shielding and probably resistors somewhere along the wires before the plugs. both work well. I have not had to replace the non resistor silverstone plugs yet and shouldn't for a while.

hey crab i ran 35cc ada non modified domes on my ported 735 and i just decked the cylinder to get proper squish and hit 195 psi on my crappy gauge. 33cc domes should put you even higher, no?

With MSD terminals (non-resistor) and non-resistor plugs it would backfire and not run at all. With resistor terminals and non-resistor plugs it runs, but very badly, missing everywhere. The brain is a good 2-3 inches closer to the motor in this hull than it would be on a SJ. That's a huge factor.

good info. did you try the resistor caps with resistor plugs to see how those work. you didn't mention what you ususally run without problems or maybe you did and i jsut need to read back a bit. i am going to try an atp flamed ski this weekend. kinda excited to see how it performs.

I usually run MSD terminals with resistor plugs. But that coil with the MSD terminals was going out, so I replaced it with another stock coil with Yami 1100 boots. They measured 15k on the secondary, so 7.5k per terminal.
I figured that would take care of the need for resistor plugs and a quick startup in the garage seemed to confirm that since it started up and ran just fine. When I put the ski in the water at the comp site the next day, it ran very poorly. I was really hoping changing back to resistor plugs would take care of the issue because I didn't want to be swapping coils an hour before a competition.
It worked. :biggrin:
I should have a new JSS coil in my mailbox tomorrow.

I won't know till I crank it up, squish should be ok now I hope.
