Cub Timing, Compression, Jetting


Recommended Posts

i got a HJR 421 Cub. Im a aircraft mechanic so im mechanically inclined. i got out the military and moved back home. i moved from 3,000 feet to sea level and of course i blew the top end. i'm getting it back together and i went ahead and bumped the compression up to 165psi for AVGAS. i ride mostly wide open trails maybe about twice out of my ride i might have to slow down through a tight spot. so with that said what can i bump my timing to? what should i start with in jetting. and do i need 100percent AVGAS or not? my mods in my sig

 

 

ps what else can i do to this thing? i ride with two honda 450 dirtbikes and a modded rm250 and they are still kicking my ass

I'd run that on +4 timing. Yes, you will need to run the 100 octane for the increased compression and timing.

 

Your jetting should be right around 160-162 main and 45-48 pilot.

 

Are the bikes beating you straight line or in the trails? If straight line, you need to check traction. If it's in the trails, you're probably just screwed.

I run +7 on my cub. I would go with stock gearing are they beating you out of the hole?

 

i never really lined up and raced them because i usually lead and when we come up on a str8 they all just fly by... im not a beginner by any means i've been riding since i was 8 they all been riding no more than 5 years im tired of the shit talking..

 

and +7 wouldn't hurt anything?

They were beating you when you were not setup correctly before it blew up? Shouldn't have a problem after the guys on here help you setup correctly.

your probably right but they beat my by so much its kind of hard to believe i will be any more competitive i mean they would str8 up pass me and walk away nothing gradual especially the rm250

Your jetting seems really close to start out with. I would think you would end up close to what loco said, and also as said start with +4 timing. You sure the topend went because of jetting?

 

I agree with the +4 to start, then work your way up. Mine was put on the dyno and ran best at +7 and we went all the way to +11. Did you open the motor up or did someone else? I am just wondering what was going on in there to blow it.
