Phil_P Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I'm wondering if next winter, it would be an idea to pull apart the Solo 210 'Plus' on my Adventure F3B (yes, I know I haven't flown it yet, but I'm an inveterate fiddler) and have a two stroke specialist do some port work on it. Then polish and radius stuff like the inlet and exhaust tract and reed block, maybe optimise the squish clearance, and fit a K&N high efficiency filter. It's not usually too hard to extract an extra 10% power and upwards, without doing stuff so radical that it reduces reliability. Part of it is making the machine unmistakeably mine, and getting the best out of it, so ultimate power gains aren't the goal. Thoughts anyone?

Guest Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Great Idea! My only thoughts (from My Drag Racing Days) are, the more you tune, the less relyable. That said..... Many of the 'OEM' or 'Factory' parts by no means 'polished' and this would be a benefit for any engine. I would be tempted to polish the ports as much as poss, but without actually 'porting' it..... ( changing the port heights ) I would scim the head a little (get rid of cnc marks) Why not, all good fun. SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
