Post New cam install
I installed a new cam in my GTR 35 this weekend, got it put back together this morning and started it up to break it in. Runs for about 30 seconds then dies. Any ideas? Is something happening when it heats up? Will call Delta in the morning but wondering if anyone has any input?

What all have you checked? You pulled valve covers?

Not sure what the deal was. After a couple attempts, took right off. Good 25 minutes in the driveway, and an awesome test run on the river. Already had heads done, cam really brought it to life.

Lost prime on fuel line for a few seconds? Sounds like it runs good now. Those Dyno cams are bad ass. Did you have Calen advance or retard the timing for you, or did you stay stock timing?

310, advanced timing. Took it out tonight again. Hits the rev limiter pretty easy with three blade, I have a new big blade also, need to try that out.
