VIDEO OF AN HM TURBO WITH BAD REEDS.

[Vi-PEC Powersports]

here is just a short video of my own Vi-pec hm turbo rmk 2011 with bad reeds.....engine and reeds have 4000km approx. all turboed. Sea level (300 ft), 8-9 psi, premium 91 octane, sled was non consistent and going rich for no reasons, datalog was showing clearly a rich condition (i love that this diagnostic tool!!). all plumbing secured, so went to reeds and found quickly the problem.
this video is for helping other guys in the same situation....always cool to have a video of the bad running condition so you can "feel" how the sled react.

ANOTHER ONE.......got a few emails amd PM's about where in the video the sled was running bad ?? well, here is another one and there is a few hicups here and there.....not used to this with proper mapping and Vi-pec ECU.....don't forget this sled is 4000km and over on same pistons/reeds and took a lot of abuse on the dyno prior to going on snow. I have to say,i'm happy with the engine durability for a 2 stroke turbo sled.Time for a new set of pistons also before i end up with a major failure....pistons look realy clean still but you never know!
