I am set up with cyl base spacers so I was running about 105 hp , I have had the big bore now for aprox 250 hrs , I like the kit very much .. I am not a big fan of the carbs for this same reason I installed the Electronic Fuel injection also from edge , now I am in fact around 115hp … if you have the 912 ul I recommend the big bore if your set up with the ULS I would save up for the EFI
Hi Shawn,
That thing REALLY WORKS !!! Dont install that flimsy cord bungee, go with this instead and forget it for ever. No more worries with a bungee failure. My new airport has a turf runway and it is a lot bumpier than a normal asphalt runway but the Steel bungee takes real good care of all those bumps. It never got overwhelmed. If I had to do the modification over again, I would ! Actually, I would install it form the start of the build.
My 2 cents.
Regards, Norm
Hi Shawn, Let you know as soon as possible how the Stell Bungie works out. Will have to wait for much nicer weather to install... Stay tuned. Regards,
Norm
