[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 142148, member: 597"] The carby is a Mikuni at least 40 mm or bigger.........It was actually way too rich, the plugs running very black in color after a run on the track.......... I did see a copy of the latest dyno sheet from that and the Egli that was there as well....... I think the Flash was putting out around 52 HP, and the Egli is about 57 Hp........remember these engines have a larger bore and short stroke, so they rev quite high........8500 plus....... I had my Norvin on the dyno a coupe of weeks back and it put out just under 50 hp, that was at 6800 rpm, and about 47 ft lb's of torque at 4250 rpm........The power curve climbing as the revs increased right up to 7000 plus........I did not want to rev the engine beyond that so we kept the revs slightly lower. The engine in the Egli has had some improvements made to it, squish band and so on........The info I have is a bit vague, but I'm hoping to go through these engines at some point and see just what they are......... I know they run a one piece crank, high pressure oil pump, reasonably big lift cam, and big inlet valves.........They run Ignitec crank triggered ignition very similar to mine but an older version.........One point that was a bit worrying was the noises coming from the timing chest........I'd like to see what's going on in there.......
