Yeah I’m running a traditional clutch now but gearing really limits it. I’ve got a 40 series I’m going to try out soon. I usually enjoy crazy acceleration a little more than top speed.
Do some light porting on the intake and exhaust on your head. Just remove the shelf angle and smooth it out. Also there are 1.2 stamped ratio rockers sold by Vegas carts they are pretty cheap and reliable.
I sanded it down last week and cleared it with ceramic header paint. I normally do that with all my exhausts but wanted to see if this one was going to rust first. I’ve had a few headers that have never rusted but they’ve got to be stainless or something.
It’s very limited by gearing. It has a large engine sprocket and a relatively small axle sprocket which is better for speed rather than acceleration but it’s still governed so it doesn’t have the rpm to take advantage of the gearing. The acceleration is crazy considering the gearing though. Once I get rid of the governor I’d expect it will make it past 50mph.
I heavier flywheel would require more power to spin so the engine may feel a bit sluggish and slower to increase speed but it would be harder to stop so it would maintain rpm for longer and be more resistant to stalling under high loads. There are pros and cons it just depends what it’s being used for.
