Last weekend it tried fiddling with the Cuyuna UL-202 again
to see about CHT.
Previously the Fan side cylinder was running too hot ~425 where the limit is 400, but the other cylinder was only around 360.
I am using a 310 jet in the 32mm Mikuni
I rotated the carb as one guy suggested and
interestingly now both CHT were about equal and both
got to 435 and climbing when I shut them down to idle
to cool.
Also the EGT went to 1265 so it was over spec by 15 as well.
I could only get 5950 Rpm, where I should get ~6200 static.
I suspect I may have too much prop.
Its 50" x? It is a Ritz prop.
I decided to pull the engine and will give it a
pressure test to see if the seals are OK.
In the mean time I brought out the Cuyuna 430 and am
prepping it to go in the UL-202's place for now.
They are Identical to the UL-202 except for the 7lbs
extra weight and a single 28mm carb.
If it works out I may go to dual carbs for more power.
I hear some were getting near 40 hp from a dual carb
430.
I'll compare it with the other engines performance to see how it compares.
