Has anyone measured the induction port timing with a degree wheel for a 150 or know what it is, i.e, opens at (x) BTDC and closes at (y) whatever?
I've looked in the forums and on the net and can't find it.
Thanks

Ive got the numbers at home so ill check tonite...if you cant wait then its Easy enough to look down the carb hole to the crank and with a degree disc on the flywheel Find TDC and then zero the disc .Ps I heavily modified a 150 super crank....and after doing the research cut 11mm off the leading face using a standard hack saw and then cleaning it via a dremmel..ie opened intake earlier and polished/rounded all the surfaces
Huge effect with an old DR 177 barrel and GS piston with 4thou clearance and a 24 delly with sip road pipe..122 main... 140/160 BE3 and a 4.0 slide to richen the midrange |

Although i have to ask- do you have a copyh of the norrie4 ker manual? If you want to play with inlet timings it's worth reading. |

I'm sorry, it probably would've helped if I'd said why I was asking in the first place.
I do have that manual for my own education and have looked through it, though I'm not interested in tuning. What I was hoping to determine was whether my slightly mod'd inlet port is compatible with a stock top-end or would there be problems? I can't tell from the Kerr book or not. I'm thinking maybe not, but only someone experienced with tuning would know. |

Just did NZ milli meglia scooter challenge with the 4.0 slid
Nah ..couldn't find my numbers for the port timings of a stock super (and Im a hoarder so it bothers me)
It should take you only ten minutes... As to the 4.0 slide....I went with this to richen up the midrange. I had a couple of siezes on a cast iron pinasco 177.....and during the run period I was mostly in the midrange...and seizing regular and quickly I just recently did the "1000 mile in 4 days" scooter challenge here in NZ.....ie 1500kms.....400kms takes 8 to 9 hours in the saddle per day. Every single road condition was experienced and I had no seizes at all...this includes thrashing.at WOT..racing other scoots....riding hard up hill into wind Another scoot with the same top end,pipe ,carb and jets but with a NORMAL slide was seizing every hour or so. I now swear by the 4.0...especially for touring I went straight to the 4.0 and didn't test any others. It was noticeably stronger (more power,)in the midrange..kind of like when the air fuel mix is too rich but WITHOUT the associated bog of an over rich engine seems they got around emission laws by leaning the midrange via cutaways in the slide. If you have seized lately..consider the midrange jetting....not just bigger mains |

Hot Rod Al made me a crank for my kitted P200. He cut the opening and closing sides of the web. My measurements were:
Intake Opening - 115deg BTDC Intake Closing - 61deg ATDC Intake Duration - 176deg The intake area of the cases were cleaned up but I didn't change the opening length in the case. P200 Performance Build-Up (Page 2) Chuck |
