Redskin man:
Yes it would have been cool to see video of the razor jump and carnage. I had not installed the camera yet as I needed help setting it up. It looked like the rear radius rod bent allowing the wheel to fold over. It twisted the trailing arm and tore open the bottom shock mount. I do have some fuel use info for you. The book says the tank capacity is 4.23 gallons to which 1.32 gallons are reserve capacity. So in theory we can say the fuel light will come on just before the main tank need to be switched over to reserve or right around 2.91 gallons.
As most know or should one would already have the tank set on reserve to prevent a lean condition as the man tank hits reserve so we wait for fuel light to come on the head in. or at least I do. My vapor said I rode 3.06 hours this trip, I used 12 gallons of gas based on the cans with 4 gallons each mixed at 32:1 with HP-2. I made four trips out on the dunes with each trip ridding until the fuel light came on. Based on this I can conclude I used an average of 3 gallons per ride and the
Engine run time averages out to 46.5 minutes per ride. Keep in mind I use a 39 mm with a main jet for 2 rides at 180 and 2 rides at 178 with a static compression of 145. When I was running this same cylinder and head with a static compression of 165 I use a 180 to 185 main jet and the run time was a little less. One item to note is with the lower compression with this cylinder my peak rpm at
WOT (Wide Open Throttle) (Wide Open Throttle) was also less and that was to be expected. This Engine so far only produce 8070 peak rpm at 61.2 mph, this according to my vapor. The mph may be off a few however the base line is set so the difference for comparison is what I look at. A key factor here is Engine temperature versus air temperature. I watch this to look for onset of detonation. In my case the Engine temp max for the day was 176. It ran from 163 to 176 thought the day.

I have used two so far #1 and #4. I will use one more in two weeks with another Engine. The #4 ran at LS will receive an inspection and then added compression level and boost in rpm. Really glad to hear your doing better.
Stix:
I think EZ got the worst of it. I yelled at him to turn, he must have not heard me. You know me I like sand sandwiches. Ez just got the meal deal with his and supper sized it.
Any way had a great time and it was fun to get out on the sand.

Thanks for the gas info.I did not know that about the gas tank,good to know,thanks.My pilot has the ATV Racing desert style gas tank,not sure how many gallons it holds,will have to check into it and compare to your usage
