Post Lost RPMs
I was running 3800 wot with a purple gov. spring and wanted to get the rpms up more so I got the brown gov. spring and now when the motor is under a load I can only get to about 3700 rpms. just wondering why it went down? My idle is 1100 and my wot rpms are 4150 out of the water. Is this what I should be running? Thanks

I tried that and it still did not help under a load. What rpms should I be turning when under a load? idle? wot?

Should idle out of water ~1200, in water ~900-1k. WOT in water, ~3800-4k. With heavy load it'll be a Lil lower.
