About time we got a serious tech thread going:
So I've read thru the past archives on this topic, but it's been suggested by the local balancing expert that the conventional wisdom might not apply here.
The motor is a horizontal 2stroke single. This means that gravity will be acting on it differently to a vertical or inclined engine.
Does this mean that the balance factor might need to be something other than the 52-56% range normally experienced?
At say 9000 RPM is gravity essentially negligiable and so ignore it and proceed as usual?
I would love some input from Eric Gorr or Gordon P Blair on this, and anyone who really gets deep into tuning like that jet engine guy.
Cheers :cool:
