Re: Syclone Astro running fault Thanks for the pointers, I will look into them all. I hope to have some service parts soon so that should eliminate some ideas but I must admit, it isn't just a bit of overfueling, it's loads as the fumes and dark smoke are very bad until the service light kicks in.

Re: Syclone Astro running fault I intend to get all that sorted but first I need to know if all the syclone engines were the same as I dont know what year the engine is or which vin id would have been with it. The other problem is that here in England it is not easy to get service parts and I...

I have introduced my self and my Sy-Tro (made up name) in the new members section and could now do with some help in making it run properly. This is what happens It fires up and ignites fine but you cant give it too much revs or it will stall. If it stalls at this point then it will not...

Re: I think I have a syclone ! Cant say how fast it is as it hasn't been tested yet and also has a running fault but I can say that I have a few fast motors and for the size and weight it is still quick. Burnout are easy but getting the back out to powerslide it is tricky as it just wants to...
