Default Re: Reports on Burtz new engines

JayJay,

Weber is a good option but buy some larger jets, mains and idle. The jets are easy to change. With the Weber on the Burtz block you can spin up past 3,000 rpm. I don't know how much rpm is possible. I have arbitrarily set my redline at 3,000 but do most of my cruising at 2,000.

I tried the tube header and straight (open) exhaust but the stock exhaust manifold and Ares performance muffler is just as good and not nearly as noisy.
