I installed a lighting coil, lights, and a horn on my Yamaha TZ250G and commuted to Seattle’s Harbor Island for a couple of years and then switched back to my 500 Interceptor (VF500F). The TZ was faster but the Interceptor was less work.
You got to open up that exhaust port on the main motor my dude. You are trying to move massive amounts of gas through there with next to no pressure differential, you can't create velocity to scavenge without a pressure differential.
That dip in the powerband, the low power, could it be wheelspin? Hmm, I remember using belt dressing spray on the roller last time I used this dyno, probably for a reason...
I think it's unlikely to be wheelspin but with such a small contact patch who knows 😂 I thought the dip was pretty normal on a two-stroke that doesn't have a power valve or similar 🤷🏻♂️
You can also wipe the tire with acetone or some other solvent, it removes any traces of oil or grease and also removes dust, that usually improves the traction
Engine and exhaust could have different timing. The powerband isn’t typically for a two stroke engine with no variable intake or exhaust. If engine and exhaust timing match perfectly you will have one peak, not two.
Have you seen Garage 4age? He's in NZ and has a chassis dyno and tests his Toyota 4AGE equipped 'turd' as it's affectionately known. He tests intake length, exhaust headers, camshafts, valve timing, compression so on and so forth. It is very grass roots like this. It is a gem of a channel. It took me more than a year to realize what an excellent channel it actually is.
This channel made me work on my gy6 moped to the point where 25mph was a struggle to the point now where i have rebuilt the engine 6 times. It sits between 40 and 45mph and has exploded on me twice. Very exciting. 😀
One thing I found very useful when experimenting with engines. Try one thing at a time. If you add more variables you don't know what exactly caused the change. Keep up the good work!
Modern day "Reodor Fälgen". In the early days of the 90´s in the Gocart scene you aleways wanted the carburator as close to the inlet as possible. I´ve forgot duration timing of exhaust though. Kör på -du är på god väg. Cant get enough of this.
Lifting the vehicle off the rolls reminds of about 25 years ago with our Clayton 8.65" dual roll emissions dynos with clutch-able flywheels and hydro-kinetic power absorption unit (PAU, for road load simulation). The flywheels were to simulate the vehicle mass in 125 pound increments from about 2000 pounds to 6000 pounds. Each increment needed a friction power loss calibration. With no electric motor on the system, a vehicle had to spin the dyno system (rolls and flywheels) up above 55 mph. Then an air jack system would be actuated to lift the rear bumper of the vehicle so that the drive wheels were off the dyno rolls. A timer measured the time to coast between 55 and 45 mph. The coast time and flywheel inertia setting was used to calculate and adjustment to the road load setting for the amount of friction in the dyno system for each flywheel combination. A table of friction power adjustment was created and used to adjust the road load setting for the 50 mph road load horsepower setting that was entered into the PAU controller. Calibrations are mostly automated and simpler with the 48inch diameter single roll dynos with electric road load and inertia simulation that replaced those old Clayton dynos. Electric dyno is mechanically simpler too, without a bunch of flywheel clutches and bearings that needed replacement every now and then.
Finally some realistic dyno testing, loving the new direction your taking, start basic and adding from there one thing at a time Thats the way to gain reliable and consistent power
If you look at your power, it stays very constant while rpm increases (and torque decreases of course). That's a bit strange, to me this looks like a possible flow issue if some sort, either intake or exhaust
It feels like everything just went up a notch and got more interesting and exciting when you shifted direction. I feel like this has helped make the path forwards clearer. Applaud you for the ability to do this, especially when it involves abandoning something you spent so much time working on like the dyno and beam mounted setup. I think you've nailed it with the last two videos, and the plan you have from here - you seem reinvigorated and I think all of us are too. Loving the editing too - it's just so fun and engaging to watch. Can't wait for next weekend!
Dear friend, it is so nice to listen at crispy 2stroke sound in the early weekend morning! It is getting more and more exciting and seeing these engines running in a real frame is even more nice. Thanks from germany!
17:03 = Yup... EXACTLY what I'd bloody do!.. Hahaha It's typical for me to be concentrating on something/working on something and I'd knock, bang into, drop a tool, of just generally bang, scrape, cut or trap myself doing the thing I was trying to do hahaha... (if the keyboard is buggered, I could HIGHLY recommend the 'Logitech K400 Plus' I use one, have seen other tuners use them and, as it is a keyboard and trackpad in one, it's a great little unit (I can attest it does survive stupid drops too! 😉)... Nice to see with your change in Dyno tactics you're getting the results and less troubles you need to continue this project 👍 😎🇬🇧
Die DB50 Motoren waren echt super zum tunen, der Minarelli 345 Am6 aber nicht so anfällig und auch vom Durchzug her und von unter noch etwas besser! Wie immer super Video! 👌🏻
Why not run a wideband O2 sensor and get more insight into your AFR? Seems like it would save some of the guesswork having visual insight as to what is happening.
When that powerband hit, it cemented my desire to get a 2 stroke again. Beautiful bokeh shots by the way! Can't wait to see your engine running in a frame.
I'd just like to say thank you. You've inspired me to turn in a totally different direction. I'm 51 and I'm going back to work, I got jack shit for hands on experience, but I understand HOW a motor works, I welded for a while, in my welding shop there was a powder paint booth and oven and lastly I've spent countless hours working on bicycles growing up. So, logically I came to the conclusion that I need to start my own my business, so I'm going to build custom motorized bicycles. I've got an a absolutely unique hook to bring in customers, unfortunately THIS particular bit of info must stay secret until it's time to implement it. I'm in the process of devouring every video you've put out. I really enjoy your videos and especially your delivery, very engaging, I doff my hat to you good sir.
Try to keep your prices low unless your near bigger income areas. Used to build them and couldn't sell for 500 bucks but mid income area in Indiana. Used to make custom headbadges for bikes as well
This is so sketchy and I love it. That’s a lot of power to the axle, can that axle reliably handle those loads? 10HP spinning parts up to catastrophic failure is a LOT of energy I think.
So happy to See the bike on the dyno doing repetetive tests! Thoughts on supercharging: - when pipe is on it will pull in air/fuel during blowdown. With pressurerized air/fuel even more will go down out the exhaust. So maybe less blowdown with pressurerized crankcase? - reed valves work via pulses (right?) but with sc you will maybe push the reeds open or even risk of breaking them? - could you again tell us the timing of the ports? - so basically if you want to trap more air/fuel in cylinder blowdown does not help - even the pipe will work somehow against the trapping of mixture in the cylinder. Rethinking the design? What do other 2-stroke supercharged folks do? You are awsome dude!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love your work, as always very entertaining. My work place gets like yours, I focus in something, create a big mess, once I've got it right, and happy with it, I clean up afterwards, then start the next project. It's a vicious cycle, but I love it. I bought not long ago, one of the China Cheap pistons, to fit into my YAMAHA AG100 1973 382, I had to cut the intake ports into piston and it meant I didn't have to go first over size bore, just honed it to suite, so 3 pistons first bore, I got nearly 6000 miles out of it, I could feel the compression drop recently, then on the 26/1/23 the locating pin of piston, for the top ring, worked lose, then bounced around on top of piston, did some minor damage, luckily I had a spare barrel and matching piston, genuine Yamaha, that'll keep the old girl going for a while.
This dyno is awesome! But be aware of the wheelspin or clutch slipping. Im pretty sure it has wheelspin because its a common issue on inertia dynos and with that narrow tire.
Great video mate. Looking forward to seeing the results of the motor in the frame on the dyno . Fingers crossed that you get the results you are looking for. Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺
Great episode - you can really feel the fun vibrations - looks like systematic progress too. Endlessly fascinating to watch this channel and see all the things a smart person can do!
When you lit that pitch saturated wood on fire, it suddenly clicked in my mind as to what your videos were missing! There should be at least one pyromania moment in each of your videos. That was the cherry on top man.., bravo! 😉😅
That's how my benchs look too, out of hand is the order of the day...every day, year after year, 45 minutes after its surgery grade clean. Hats off to the tinkerers
i honestly dont mind that you intended to put the PIP engine into the speedway frame but instead had a play with the 77cc on the working dyno. it was just good to watch everything working as it should for a change
To get the best plug readings it might be interesting to get a set for warming up and a set for actual data. I really enjoyed the sounds of this video, you captured it well. Brings back good memories!
Love you man,, appreciate your work,, your SHARING tidbits of knowledge along the way.. Love this channel! I HAD NO IDEA you had/built/worked on/designed/raced Those OTHER BIKES! Keep dropping tidbits of your life while pressing forward. Thank You.
I use my phone for reading the numbers on jets. Zoom in and then take the photo and check on your gallery after you take the picture. Good for "old eyes" 👀🤭
cold air is slower than hot air in terms of wavespeed. so more than one reflection in exhaust and or intake become out of phase at the dip. if you push it out to red line, then it limits overrevving also. 15Hp possible easy peasy. cool vid.
losing power as the engine heats up - smells a little bit like compression issues. how is the piston and ring doing? also, speaking of smelling things, maybe the brakes or chain start dragging when they get hotter? don't think it's wheelspin though, a warmer tyre should actually have more grip than a cold one
Great to see you enjoying some quality time with the new setup. And to see some of the effects that different jet sizes, longer or shorter intake lenghts and engine temperatures have on engine power and rev range. Maybe some time in the future, when you run out of topics (so probably never...) you can make a series on tuning for example a rotax kart engine (or x30, or rok, ok, kz, whatever) within what the regulations allow. I guess thousands of hobby racers around the world would appreciate and benefit from it.
We're only here for you, and YOUR braaaaps. Whatever you do, just make a video for us please. Yeah the carburetor is usually pressed as close and straight to the intake as possible. I have problems idling with my bike because of my vespa intake adapter, but I took the reed out and just used a regular piston. No windows.
3:20 :) Du borde ha en fläkt på kylaren för att få jämnare temp när du kör på dynon. Nu mäter du effekten på en maskin som inte har uppnått värmebalans. Svårt att justera.
Lead keeps fuel from goin stale as fast, and is really bad to breathe the exhaust fumes. Aviation uses 100 octane low lead to fight detonation in low oxygen environments.
Any gains in having a micrometer adjustment on the ignition stator so you can adjust it on the fly while the engine is on song so you can optimise timing? It would require a bit of fiddling and ingenuity and possibly a third hand!!! But I am sure you could think of something!

Could it be the rear break that is reducing power in the 2nd and 3rd run, maybe loosen it up a little?
this does it i need to start my bike after the winter sleep.
cold air is slower than hot air in terms of wavespeed. so more than one reflection in exhaust and or intake become out of phase at the dip. if you push it out to red line, then it limits overrevving also. 15Hp possible easy peasy.
cool vid.
Videos like this make me want to go back to school
Man, you are crazy! Keep the great work! Bravo!
Great video! Id be terrified of a bicycle wheel spinning that fast.
losing power as the engine heats up - smells a little bit like compression issues. how is the piston and ring doing? also, speaking of smelling things, maybe the brakes or chain start dragging when they get hotter? don't think it's wheelspin though, a warmer tyre should actually have more grip than a cold one
What about instead of forced induction, forced removal exhaust? Or maybe a finely tuned combo?
It looks as though your rpm is measuring the Dyno wheel rpm and not your engine. Rpm doesn't drop in between shifts or when you pull the clutch in.
Engine rpm is calculated from roller rpm in sixth gear, thats why.
Suggesting pinning on thinner tires, for less rolling resistance. Oh, and removing brakes too.
Hit that power band, son! 2-strokes are a beautiful thing...
Great to see you enjoying some quality time with the new setup. And to see some of the effects that different jet sizes, longer or shorter intake lenghts and engine temperatures have on engine power and rev range. Maybe some time in the future, when you run out of topics (so probably never...) you can make a series on tuning for example a rotax kart engine (or x30, or rok, ok, kz, whatever) within what the regulations allow. I guess thousands of hobby racers around the world would appreciate and benefit from it.
My, that bike looks gorgeous!
Could you modify the ignition pickup plate so that you could advance the timing manually from the handlebar, like the old 1950's bikes?
So look fwd to your videos!! Greatest way to start my day.
It’s hard to believe all that noise, rpm and power comes from a little two stroke. Can’t wait to see the forced induction on the chassis dyno.
