Wow, just wow!

Well done guys.
I've been waiting about 8 years or so for that. Nice to finally know I timed the cams correctly..... though I never doubted myself. ;D There was a lot of wrong things associated with those original engines. If anybody ever knew how much time and outside expertise it took to get those engines correct. ::) Hats off to Russ Jr as I would give him the bad news but also the the fix and he just basically said whatever you think is right Mike and followed through with money and support. Sometimes it's tough to get 1 engine right but 3 into 1. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Well guys, the AT&SF fired up again the other day and ran for a few seconds longer and this time included a blip of the throttle.
Sorry I can't post it here, you can only see it on Facebook, unless anyone knows how to change it to a format that can be seen here.
They are still having issues with it running very fat, but there are things coming in the post (mail) to rectify the problem, smaller injector nozzles maybe, they didn't say.

Both bikes ran on NITRO today, sadly the videos are only posted on Facebook, so you need to be on Facebook to see them.
