RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Yes agreed. I tried 2 stroke oil as recommended by Wren for my Super Sport but had problems with them getting 'sticky' & the starter struggled to turn it over. It was fine if you used it every...

RE: Reaction 54 Jet Kit

Hi Steve, the JLT came very poorly set up from the factory (ECU settings etc.) Some advice was obtained from Model Engines' 'guru' which at least got it going but the starts were incredibly long.
