Well, I've been having trouble with my hyper and it's 21 8 port. Well, I sealed the ting up, checked out the carb and resealed the needles, cleaned everything, took off the pull start and put a rear cover on, changed clutch...well, the thing still didn't want to run. The main bearing was going and it would start acting up when it would warm up! Only had 4 gallons through it too.
Anyways, I ended up purchasing a SH .21 pro bugg engine from the LHS. I was about to return it but they talked me into keeping it (yeah, right, I just needed someone to tell me to keep it...). I broke it in today, easy, started right up, needles were set good for breaking in. Did the heat cycle thingy and then got it up around 180 - 200 for the rest of the break in. Boy, the LHS guys weren't kidding; the racing engines have lots of torque down low and I haven't even tuned it yet. It idles like a dream, too.
Oh, I love my hyper again.
