    Excellent video. I really learned something today. Concerning 2 strokes, many people live with the idea “3 degrees and nothing else”

    I watched your previous ignition video first, and as soon as you said the first run was going to be at 3 degrees static, I knew exactly what it was going to sound like! I have a seriously modified 1974 Honda CR125M with a digital PVL ignition and these videos are answering all my questions, great, thanks!!

    This is the first of your video's I've watched actually found it quite interesting
    'Back in the day' (80's) programmable ignition didn't exist, even having two stage high / low was a novelty
    You should have had a gas analyser on it to show how much fuel just goes down the pipe when ignition is fixed too close to TDC, hydrocarbons are always high but showing how much is either burning in pipe or just cooling it down is always interesting (at least to me)
    Personally, too much over rev capacity is a bad thing, (unless you like re-building cranks ?)
    Big end fails when bearing / bearing cage overloads and skids with high centrifugal load (silver plated cages on 125's in 70's~80's)
    I'll check out a few more before I decide subscribing

    The older Husky Cr125’s with some good porting and a modded CDI make more power than the newer ones. Now what I’m looking for is usable power. Pipe tuning is another aspect. It all works together. Love this info.

      i dont know about that…The older husky 125s used a T port exhaust and very yamaha like cylinder. For us, the current ktm/husky jetted right makes incredible stock hp
      and properly built even more incredible mod hp.
      That said I havent tried to jazz up the old school husky so maybe your on to something

I have a 2000 and a 2002 that needs bored and plated so I thought it made sense to work it over and see what I could make happen. Fast by Ferraci has a few JD race ignition cdi’s left over with some pretty good maps. With more R&D I imagine some more power could be found. Thinking GNCC XC3 ripper and a good setup for whoops/SX style stuff.

      We are in Northern California and only have ama races for Loretta’s.
      For that we use a new stock bike, but everything else allows full mod 50cc motors we also have Mammoth mountain that allows big bores most run 60cc but the Cobra 65 piston is dimensionally compatible also but may not be any better going to 65cc.

    When you develop an optimum ign curve on the dyno, how much "fine tuning" do you typically do to the curve after testing it on the track? Besides rider, what variables dictate further adjustments from dyno to track? Is it air quality and elevation or strictly just chasing tame usable power?

    • @HPRaceDevelopment
      @HPRaceDevelopment  2 месяца назад

      We have "fine tuned" our dyno process to shorten the track testing aspect.
      Most shops really struggle with this concept and optimize an engine to a dyno run (load time of their dyno and process they use). We have tried to optimize our dyno procedure to match what we have learned works on track. Lot's of variables go into this - how much fan on the pipe - and load time - how many runs you do back to back to back to back in what coast down town etc.
      It's a whole video topic in itself. But once we have a good ignition and jetting combo - we might vary it 1-1.5 degrees in a few spots to suit rider request. We usually sell our CDI's with 2 maps - one we like and 1 we think people might also like thats a little different.
      For the most part - what riders generally like is a little less hp in trade for a little more RPM.

    2,3,4,5 degrees from stock or literally before TDC ? Would stock be say 12 degrees and never 2? Does any motor run at 2? So if you retard the timing it's still before TDC ? Not experienced sorry . Cylinder head temperature goes up if ignition is advanced ? How does it effect pipe temperature ? Cool content thanks .

      I thought they were , because the timing retards as revs increase which is inverted for a 4 stroke .lf you started at 2 degrees firing couldn't get to after TDC, it's just not that obvious for a novice . The burn is inefficience for 2t , i wonder how efficient a jet engine is ? They do have power to weight %. Thank you .@@HPRaceDevelopment
