The Rain finally stopped today. Had to get the 45" out. Decided to try to find
Thunder Valley Cycles, out in Maple Valley.
To make a long story a bit shorter, the 45" ended up on the dyno. After a brief delay to move a new Triumph Thruxton and track down stronger tiedowns to contain all that torque and horsepower ;<), we fired it up. I didn't have a camera, so no pix, sorry.
From the dyno run I learned:
My idle mixture is a bit lean...about 16 to 1
My running mixture is right on... at 14 to 1
My engine puts out a whopping 23 hp (which isn't bad for a 45"!)
My primary oiler needs to be adjusted to slow the drip. My Harley "marked it's territory" on the dyno.
Aaron and his son Cody are pretty cool. It will likely become a semi-regular haunt when I'm out riding with nowhere to go.
