doug Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi Guys, I've got a 421 Cheetah Cub with a 4mil stroker crank that I am putting back together after getting it replated at Millenium. (the cause of the flaking is believed to be a plating failure.) What is a reliable setup? (i.e., timing, domes, etc.) I'm running 100 meters above sea level, +10 degrees to +30 degrees and I want to run pump fuel. 92 to 94 octane, running Klotz. Any rebuild advice is appreciated (i.e., engine brake lube, engine breakin advice?) Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doug Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi - the intended use of the bike is: a) Primarily trailing (hitting local gravel pits, running rail beds, etc.) When I am fortunate enough, hitting Silver Lake and maybe even Glamis at the end of this summer. (this is very periodic though) Very gunshine after having ridden the bike for only 10-15 and discovering the plating issue. Reliability is key. Looking to under tune and then go up from there. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANSHEE HP Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 +10 degrees timing???? if so thats ur problem right there. as far as fuel if you have under 155psi you can run premium pump fuel 92-94 octane but with around 4 degrees advanced timing. if your cub is a 68mm bore 22cc domes would be safe for pump gas.

doug Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) No - 10 or 15 minutes run time. I think it was messed when I bought it. It had 20cc domes with 4.5 degrees timing running pump fuel. Yep, getting it replated for standard 68mm bore. So, it sounds like that combination was prone for problems. Thank you.

252wheelieking Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Did you ever get this set-up properly? I'm building a 421 cub also & would like some opinions on a good set-up for duning & playing around. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252wheelieking Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Bump....Did you ever figure out anything with this set-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hey Man - sorry for the crazy delay. Well, to make a very long story short, I've got the motor in the bike ready to go, but this time around I am using some sort of EGT setup to help ensure I don't have an engine failure.
