cheetah power valve engine


Recommended Posts

Ok Guys lets see if any of you can figure this concern out.It's a cheetah power valve top end with stock cr 250 reeds,32mm flat slide carbs,plate set at+4,270 main jets 48 pilot jets needles set in third notch.What happens with this is when I ride it under half throttle it runs great but as soon as I go to half throttle or more it will fall flat on its face and actually almost stop completly.Let me tell you first off that I have allready figured it out but I would like to see if any one else can figure it out,Also buy installing 1.8 air jets in the carbs it helped considerably,HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM IS NOT CARB OR SPARK RELATED.So lets have some fun and see who else may be able to figure it out. :evil:

We have a winner.It all started when I bought a complete engine that was soposed to be a +4 stroke and +5 long rod built for drag racin.First mastake I believed the guy.So any way I ran the engine twice and it was not very fast so I took it a part and looked at the porting the guy did on the cylinders and it was lets say CRAP.Mistake #2 I didn't look at the crank itself just the pistons and they were 795 series pistons(long rod pistons).So I decided to build my own hense the cheetah p.v. top end and all listed parts.Mistake #3 still didn't look at the crank.I put it all together and wamo the problem I described in listing.So now I do a compression check 85psi so now I'm like wow to small of domes 20cc at 4000 feet.I bought 17cc domes and now I take the head of to instaal the 17cc domes.Mistake#4 didn't look at piston dtc.Installed 17 cc domes now I have 115 psi WTF WTF!!! pulled the head of again and Finally check piston dtc Big gap Duh.tore it all apart and installed the correct crank No problem after that.That was fun right.This sickness with banshees is f-in great. :cheers:
