Ive got a better question. How do you get a diaphragm operated powervalve to go from full closed to full open in the .1/second that it takes a freestyle engine to go from 4000-7000rpm?

Serious?

What do you think is happening in that .1 second that the engine is accelerating?

You don't need to cut the springs, the blue(or red) screws in the caps turn in or out by clicks, it is a normal right hand thread, stick a small craftsman screwdriver in any of the slots, turning the screws increases or decreases pressure on the spring.

Turn them in(more pressure on the spring) for later opening or out(less pressure on the spring) for earlier opening of the power valve.

Just make sure whatever you do to one screw, you do to the other. They need to be even.

Please let me know if this helps.

I think that they operate too slow for a freestyle engine.


Then I would like to hear about your experience and your setup. First off, please tell me you use a Lamey PV cylinder.

Use the cylinder with no PV, the bottom end feel will feel quite different.

As the stroke and bore get bigger and bigger, the PV does become needed less and less because more of the exhaust area is used.

Lol, That's a new one to me. They work fine in all our 8 mm Lameys and 66E race engines. And I would be willing to bet your "freestyle" engine couldn't hold a candle stick to any of them... :)
