i didnt have nothing to do one day so i was looking around the garage and found some extra parts and decided to do something with em. figured i would try something different than what ive done in the past. had a few ideas ahead of time but some of it i winged it as i went along. just got the epoxy in tonight. supposedly it has a 1hr work time but ill be damned if it wasnt stiff as a board 5min after i mixed it, so i just crammed it in the port fast as i could before it got to hard. i did a test run with it few days ago and it grinds real easy and smooth so tomorow it shouldnt take but a few minutes to cut it down to the desired shape. ill report back when its running hopefully in a week or so. been around 40f lately but it could all go to hell real fast and not make it above freezing for a while

this is what i started with

heres where im at as of tonight

yes. ill be sending a head down to you in the next day or so. the machine work on the top deck held me up for a couple days but i got it done. just gotta throw the jug back on and get solder measurements. probly get the volume once the head is on also. might make it easier for your calculations

What are you trying to achieve by doing this? What will the epoxied transfer ports effect?

Not being a smartass just generally interested

thats a great question. i have no predictions or expectations. it was purely a experimental idea i had. the good thing about epoxy is its shape can be changed or completely removed. so the cylinder can be put back to its original condition rather easily. honestly it didnt make sense to me to have the mixture directed right on top of the boost port. whether my theory is right or wrong is hard to say at this point but once im able to ride it i should know more. then again maybe it will only produce more questions

its back together. found out klotz and sunoco dont do well below 45f. geled in the filter and pilot circuit. anyways this is where im at with it. rode for a minute and could hear alittle rich so i tried to put a smaller main but i guess the klotz clogged up the pilot holes and i couldnt get it restarted so i said screw it. blowed out the holes when i got home and it fired right up. think ill wait for warmer weather before i mess with it anymore
