The elbow and Y pipe have been shorted about 2.5 " approx. That is a huge difference
and I have proven it many times over.
Regardless, your problem is odd -- black plugs and EGT 1275f ?
something askew here. What have you done to make this happen lately? I have
seen some adjust needles and put the needle on top off plastic clip and get a
similar problem.
MAke sure your oil injection marks line up at IDLE ......... and the lever travels
smoothly through out the throttle movement.

[quote="brubakermal(at)yahoo.com"]5 plus HP sounds like allot to loose becous of
such a little adjustment to the elbow. That should effect gas consumption or
change the power band or the echo back prechur and in turn accurate EGT readings.
Mystatic rpm is 5800 and at climb out I get6200 at 55 mph and 6600 max
rpm flat and level yet my egt,s are 1275 and the plugs are still very black
and wet w/ penz oil 50 to one pre mix

and make sure the oil pump line up marks are correct. I leaned mine out just a
tad and got better plug color and performance. I do the same on all my snowmachines
as well. I measure the gas put in the tank, and the oil put in, then
figure the ratio and get it to match as close to 50:1 as possible. I know the
pump actually gives closer to 100:1 at idle, but 99% of the time the engine is
running in the 50:1 range so I set the adjustment accordingly.

Hi,
Does anyone have information on putting a Continental O200 in this Super Sport
S7 model?
I got an engine and I'm looking for the best LSA compliant kit to put it in.
Thanks,

Here is a picture of an 0-200 in a series 5. I think they are the same.
