Carl's cycle 900

Since there's multiple thread about the par 910 I wanna see one about Carl's motor. I have about 700 miles on mine now. How has everyone else been?
 
Seeing as the viable options for those who want a 900 BB have been cut in half, why don't you tell us how your 700 miles have been? I'm sure others would like to know also.
 
Mine ran really good the first few trips out but it's been down on power now. I had a voltage reg. go down. I just found out my fuel line had a bad o ring so hopefully it's good now. Pistons and cylinders look awesome still. The sled has 3700 miles on it total now
 
Mine has been great 200 miles and going strong. Not one hiccup at all fill the oil tank and the gas tank and ride it like you stole it.
 
Do the Carls 900 and the PAR 910 use the same pistons and cylinders? I asked this question in the PAR thread that got deleated and never did see an answer.
 
64 g belly busters 8-10k. I also am running a 162 x 3 track and I am using a 60-42.36 helix with a black/silver spring.
 
Cylinders are from the same place just different bore. I have a par engine as well setup for a turbo. I had to fix a few things that were not right with the porting and power valves on the Par motor

And you hold rpm? I'm running 66g with the 60-40 helix 6-8k but I'm not holding rpm. Maybe when I fix the fuel line it will be better. I'm also running a 3 inch track. We have 2 stock pros running the same clutching as me but on the steeper helix angle 62/42 so that's why I don't think mines running right. I ran 64s last year with the stock motor
 
Wow, altitude really steals power!

I have mye engine set up with the equivalent of an SLP stage 3 kit with carlscycles 60.42 helix and recommended springs and my sled rips and holds 8200rpm consistently with 76g mtx weights (the same as 72g polaris series 10).

This is at sealevel.

But, I guess the 900 would be insane at my alt...but unfortunately they have not made any maps for this alt.

Im not so sure that the cylinders are the same. Is the carls a long rod motor too? The cylinders would need to be slightly taller on the base for the long rod, no?
 
So it was just speculation that they were both getting their jugs from crankshop? Good to know.

Sounds like the same issue as PAR with the slp pipe. Has it always dropped RPM from the start or is this a new thing?
 
Glassman, I was kind of hoping I could read about Carl's 900. I could give a flying fart about how you got f#@&ed by someone else.

Seriously I don't care.

If you have a motor from Carl's, yes please comment.

Don't pull a thread that you started cuz you reached an "agreement", then start "questioning" another motor.
 
^^^^^ whoa. Think you need to relax.

Look at Glassmans question. He was asking a diagnostic question regarding RPM drop on a Carl's 900. Whether the rpm drop was always there or a new thing.

That, to me, seems pertinent.

Why wouldnt you use the clutching Carls Cycle tells you to??
They have so much time on these and they have the mapping to the clutching done and dialed in perfect! These motors do run great, turn key operations just by all the components they suggest and it will run spot on like all there combinations do. I wouldnt buy any other brand when they built these motors they spent over a full season testing, building, changing, testing until it was spot on before releasing it to the public.
If you buy the full kit including clutching I dont care what track you have they have the set up for you.
It makes no sense to me why try to out due what they have spent tons of time figuring out and not just buy something completely done. That is the great thing with Carls cycles stuff
