100 hours on my Clonda

hookm · 08-01-2009, 07:33 AM

Yesterday I turned 100 hrs on my 16 hp Carrol Stream clonda ,the bolts worked lose on the side cover once, 4 oil changes & keep air cleaner open, that's it, not even a plug change.
Not as fast as a Vtwin but less expensive. I bought the 780 & driven from Tom.Still have not removed the gov. (wire tied). Will run in the 30's at about 3900 rpm's , I usually don't run it over 3700.
I think it's a good alternative if you can't afford the Vtwin .
I tried snowmobile engines first,TOO noisy, & never could get everything to work as it should,the noise was the main thing.

Good to hear the clone is holding up well

Cool man! All my clone engines are holding up well too. They aren't a 27hp water cooled Kawasaki but these engines do good for the money.
