What should my RPM limit be set to on my ignition? I have it at 5500 currently.

 

Whatever makes you feel good. I don't have a rev limiter on mine at all (SE ignition without a rev limiter.) I run it until the valves float and consider that my rev limiter.

 

i normally dont run against the top end that much and if i do its not for every long... so i dont worry about it, if i need the get-up-and-go, i drop down a gear

 

Set it at the lowest 5500 rpm. We don't run these at NHRA, and they will last longer. If your carb ever stuck open you will be glad you did. Even when I let the dogs out I only push about 5300 and still smoke the competition.

 

What happens when the valves float?

 

they become fishing bobbins

 

Or possibly cute paper weights.

 

Motor won't run any faster.

Man ya'll are easy on your motors. I lost a speedo once on the way to Sturgis. I just set the tach at 4100-4300 in 5th gear and left it there, basically for 1K miles. On the way back, I kinda realized why I was passing everyone.

 

Why you buncha smart ..................I'm guessing that floating the valves is a bad Thing.

 

Trail you don't have to EVER worry about floating a valve the way you drive.
