    Electromotive HPV1 tachometer inaccuracy problem

    I have run these for years and never had this problem. Realized at dyno today that my tachometer and the optical eye set up for the dyno do not match. At 4000 rpm the tach and the dyno read the same. However at 8000rpm on my tachometer the dyno said the engine was turning 8800 rpms, a 10%...

    Wanted: info on importing a race engine from Canada to US

    How difficult is it to bring a race only loose engine over the border from Canada and does anyone have experience?

    Spridget cooling system question??

    Dear Spridget Gurus, I am, but should I be running the little tiny hose from water pump to head at front of a 1275 engine?? Doesn't seem likely, but is it possible that I get enough bypass flow under light loads to cool the engine with closed thermostat?? Something else I should look for...

    Electromotive HPV-1 question

    Run into one I can't figure out? Any help would be appreciated. I can only get my Electromotive to advance to about 39 or 40 advance instead of the 60 it is supposed to be capable of reaching. Additionally at higher rpm it backs out 2-4 degrees seen watching with the light. Zeroed out it does...
