Tim said:I've got the same Siebenrock kit on my R75/6. Great investment, and frankly comparable to parts + machining costs of going up a size on worn out old cylinders.
Maybe it's in the thread somewhere - what carbs are you planning on running?
3DogNate said:Good move on the Siebenrock kit! Their stuff is top notch.
ncologerojr said:Thanks, that’s awesome to hear. When comparing the two options it was an easy choice.
I’m running Mikuni VM32’s, Boyer microdigital ignition and a Dyna coil.
Tim said:I'm also running VM32's and a Boyer ignition, with the Boyer coil with an open stainless exhaust (stock 2 into 2) but wide open 'silencers'.
I'm running rich/fouling plugs at the moment but it does run reliably once warmed up. When you start jetting and tuning it will be interesting to see where you land.

Question....these airheads don't like to run too long without air cooling (I believe). Does painting heads diminish the capacity for cooling ..... say...at idle?
Jimbonaut said:Fantastic, thanks. I had my engine covers and assorted parts media blasted (glass bead) and I'm wondering what grade paper to start with. I'll try and error it, but hoping I can start with something smooth, around 220 if possible. The surface texture looks very smooth, just textured from the media. No air tools in my shop (sadly, very sadly).
Yours look like mirrors. Hats off - I know how much work is involved in making that happen. Kudos!
