Moderator Airhead Posted September 1, 2013 Author Moderator Posted September 1, 2013 Thanks dirtydt yeah she's looking good, not been out yet I've spent a lot of time getting her sorted so I had to take the mrs out she's been stuck in all weekend. I'm hoping the weather holds and I can get out a few evenings this week but it maybe from wednesday, I've also put a 26mm carb on so I'm tinkering with jetting at the moment. yeah eddie I took the plunge in the end after a bad experience ascending a bloody steep hill (wynatts pass) in Derbyshire in June, got some horrendous pinking and watched the temperature gauge indication fairly rocket in short order! and I'm pretty sure the jetting was right at that time so maybe the offset squish was the culprit after all?

Ahh Wynatts Pass... I used to practice around there on my 125. Managed to keep up with a 'summer rider' on a sports bike at the beginning of summer. Granted we were going downhill and he wasn't trying, but still...! Your DT is looking great Paul, still amazed by its age. A true example of a bike.

Moderator Airhead Posted September 1, 2013 Author Moderator Posted September 1, 2013 good job, Paul. will it make a few extra BHP then? maybe with the 26mm carb, the head wont add any though.
Moderator Cynic Posted September 2, 2013 Moderator Posted September 2, 2013 Heh. Knowing the condition that barrel was in its a top effort to turn it around. That head could be the dt holy grail then? let me know if it works so I can get one before the rush. Might help that 26 work too. I got either good wot performance OR low ( sub 4k) never both. Mi.d it did shif if you could live with it. Cutting out at the lights.
dt502001 Posted September 2, 2013 Posted September 2, 2013 Oh I wouldn't cancel out the head not helping out in the HP department,I would have to think with the plug being in the right spot it's going to provide a cleaner/fuller burn of the fuel HEMI head's always work better.
