Weather where you are?

Overcast all day here, high was only 30*C. A good day for walking about, but terrible for the beach. Which is why we came here!
On Phu Quoc island in Vietnam, up near the Cambodian border.

Found the ocean water like warm soup. Not very refreshing.
Great little restaurant at Green Bay
 
+4C here on the North Shore of Lake Huron (Spanish Ontario) on Xmas Eve - Forecast is +6C Xmas day - A Green Xmas again.

The North Shore of Lake Huron probably has one of Canada's BEST Temporal Zones and I like it.

Could have taken my 70 SF0 for a spin on Xmas Day but I sold her a few years back ;o(

Bye the Way - A Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to my Laverda Forum friends ;o)

We had a bit of a storm here yesterday morning. Lightning struck a chimney down the street, and trees fell down.

Another in the afternoon as well, and another predicted for this afternoon too.

Nice

Got to the soggy compression problem Q?

I have - and it's not very pretty. I don't think running the fuel level in the tank low is NOT a good idea on a race track ... looking a lot like a lean-out. I won't post pics here now cos it'll spoil my Christmas!

Sounds like Clems 3 fuel tap trick. Lothar had a similar issue with FCR Kehians at prolonged full throttle. There has to be an easy way to determine flow rates comparing use by supply at full wack through both taps. Stopwatch for a litre x time out of both taps. Against flow through the main at full throttle. Then compare this to a full tank, an almost empty tank. Going onto reserve is an everyday event, surely that shouldn't risk causing a lean hot engine destroying issue. Inline fuel filters? I hope it wasn't Detinated inlet side ring lands. Been there done that.
 
In the process of trying to understand exactly why. There's definitely sufficient fuel flow through the taps, but at at high loads under full throttle on a track I suspect low fuel combined with acceleration/braking/leaning may cause a lean-out. A/F ratio on the dyno runs has been set and is spot-on, but there was no individual reading of left and right just a sensorstuck in the left muffler (ie combined L & R gases). I'll be welding access bungs into the headers to resolve that. Can't discount a max advance gone haywire in the Ignitech ... but I reckon highly unlikely.
 
Isn’t the fuel flow when running at WOT greater than simple gravity flow from the tank? I would guess that the pressure drop with the engine running would suck the fuel out faster than a static test. Is there some way to blow air through the venturi to simulate the vacuum of an engine running at WOT?

I would have thought the fuel tank, frame backbone has a baffling effect to avoid fuel slosh and starvation hopefully. BTW MX Superstore sells foam that you can cut up into blocks and fit into the fuel tank cap opening that aid in stopping fuel slosh in high G activity.
 
Really a holed Breganzie Gas Tank over the battery would lite up your ASS- As if goes for any moped ;o)

I live in Winnipeg on one of the coldest winter cities in the world and it is barely below freezing and almost a brown Christmas....just a dusting of snow. Very rare not to have snow and everything frozen solid. Everyone except the snowmobilers like me are happy. Can't use the Laverda or the snowmobile. Wife is getting tired of me hanging around. Hoping for a proper Canadian winter.
