GregT Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Back in the day when those were common, a certain shop in ChCh were notorious for doing "5 minute tuneups" on small 2 strokes. Take it out into the back alley and rev the tits off it for a few minutes and it's done. Timing didn't move on them but the exhaust port would carbon up when running around town. Revving would knock the carbon off the port edges - principally the top edge. Once the top edge was clean it ran a shitload better. Part of it was the oils available too. Semi synth now burns a lot cleaner. Do say four or five of those a day, charging 1 hour minimum each and you see how the foreman was regularly charging out 12 hours plus for an 8 hour day. Owner had a posh house in Fendalton too. That shop is long gone thankfully. But the trick lives on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
