Does anyone know how to bypass the rev-limiter on a DT25?

[9D280]

Bent bit of metal on the end of the middle carb shaft + replace the plastic spring / cam assy.

No idea if it's "soft limited" in the CDi? - I never ran mine with a tacho - it just felt sprightlier after the mechanical mods!

[Downhilldai]

Yeah, there's an electronic gizmo that won't let it get past 6000ish rpm. I'd like to know if anyone knows of a way of bypassing the little menace.

[9D280]

In all seriousness, how well do you know that engine?

I killed a clamshell by running it too fast with an advanced spark.....

...and how much do you reckon you can eek out of it?

I have a CDI if you want to use it for testing.

We've become good friends over the last few weeks, during which time, I've rescued it from Ingland, given it a nice clean garage to live in (temporarily), introduced it to its new partner (Avon R340 RIB), lavished it with some nice new components and given it a bit of a clean up. I even treated it to a couple of nights with Rowg Waiv, but that's another story.

Serves you right for messing with Mercs.

Don't know, to be honest, but twood be a nice little project to experiment with. I reckon I can get lots more midrange, but top end improvement is limited, unless I can get it to sing a bit. As It'll be pushing a small, light RIB, more top end revs would be desirable.

If I knew the first thing about what goes on inside those things, then I'd gladly take you up on your kind offer, but it's a different world in there! If I can fiind someone who knows how to work around the rev limiter, I'll let you know.

It did sound reeeeeally good ....for about 5 seconds as it passed 35 knots :banana:.... before it stopped dead as the bits off the top of the piston shorted the plugs.....

There was a thread on the racing section a while back about using a solenoid to advance spark at low/ mid RPM. If it's midrange you're after have a read at that. I did toy with it for a while but reckoned one broken engine was enough!

Admin: is it worth moving this conversation to the "engines" section & leaving the "for sale" bit alone? - I;m hyjacking my own thread!
