    I like what I have seen so far, but I only ran it twice, two swipes at the 12 x 12" during a race! :rofl: :lol: We only had one chain for it and I wanted to save that for the race. I let anyone else run it though, and they got it all dirty!

    It won the "40cc class" although there was not much competition, just my 026, 191T, and I think swags 026.

    I'll give it a real work out now that the G2G is over and let you know.

    My 241 has the stock muffler opening widened and "fish" gills on the other side of the muffler. It sounds really good, like its on steroids lololol.

    Thanks again for snagging it for me, and for all your other help tuning up my other ones. I figured they were all just a little "fat" by ear, and you tach proved me right?

    Better fat than too lean. You weren't all that far off. Bet that 026 is quite a bit snappier now. ;)

    Its going to run even better now because there were two loops of PS3 waiting for me when I returned home today (ordered off ebay)! I've been up in NY since the G2G. In addition to the 4 dealers checked down here, I tried to find some up in Lockport, NY. Went into a big dealership there, they did not know what I was talking about ................... same story. When I mentioned that I had got 1 loop of it on a 241 I just bought, the guy started getting a little "agitated". Wanted to know where I managed to get a 241 from since he has been trying to get one "for months". I just smiled and told him I had friends in high places! :D

    My dealer had a 241 on the shelf the last time I went in a few weeks ago.

    Several members have them now so they are obviously around. Why some dealers have them, others "have been waiting for months", and others have no idea it exists is probably just the normal "bell shaped curve" for a new product.
