No, not me... knock on wood! Other guys on here. 3 of the specs on the hot cam are the same as stock... the other is a misprint no one can get to the bottom of. The assumption is its also the same as stock.

Hot cams needs a less catchy name... maybe "somewhat above frozen cams".

What I hear is webcams are good, but everytime I plug the numbers into some software, the results are terrible.

The reports of megacycle are good and the software agrees, so if I had to pick blindly, megacycle would have to be it.

The 250S stock cam is a decent step up from the 230 cam. Its power you can feel and the numbers make sense. Its worth the $100 it costs. Both megacycle and webcams will set you back 3 times that.

Hey guys, I havent posted jack diddly squat on here for about a year. But, my quad will barely move itself. It's definitely not the carb, it revs up like it always does in neutral, but as soon as I hit the clutch and shift to first, it revs up like it should be going somewhere, only I'm not going anywhere. I flipped it last riding season and messed up the clutch perch, but it ran fine until the end of August, when It started not moving. Could it be the clutch?

Barely move itself??? Yeah, probably the clutch. Otherwise it would move or not move at all.

I'll be replacing the stock exhaust on my 230e in the near future. Looks like I'll go with DG muffler and header setup on ebay (options are slim).

I assume I will need to retune. My experience tuning carbs is with 2 strokes and I've done little with 4 strokes.

Do I likely just need a larger main jet? If so can someone tell me what size I'm looking for and a good place to find it.

Thank you

I don't know about anyone else, but I have no clue. It depends on way too many things.

I just vent it through an open tube. If its long enough, gas won't come out. They make one-way check valves for that too.
