 Re: 35GDSD prop replacment
Those motors run the best at 3600 to 3800 RPM's. Can you take a pic of your prop close up? Those RPM's and that speed Suggest to me that it is a worn prop

 Re: 35GDSD prop replacment
i messed with the throttle screw a bit so that there isnt a rev limiter which i think helped a bit with the RPMS(load carrying) but with the sand/stumps.veg ive run over the last 125 hrs, it has to be done. on another note, how big a difference would getting a MAC exhaust make? I need to bit more power when i have its loaded to the gills.

 Re: 35GDSD prop replacment
i know thatll make the biggest difference, but im not sure i want to do all that and mess with the longevity/reliability of the motor. I was thinking that the exhaust would be a good way to get a little more performance without hurting it in the long term

 Re: 35GDSD prop replacment
If your afraid to mess with heads run a mikuni carb. When your valves go to leaking do your heads. Carb will at least run like a motor should and not a piece of lawn equipment.
