I am too tired to post a whole big deal but Update
I woke at 3:00am to work with Bart (owner HPI) on fixing this. I can't even begin to tell the crap I have tried in the past few days so I was glad to wake up and try something else. He emailed me a few files that I had to rename to open. One was a removal tool for the HPI driver in the TuneBox 4 program, and the other is a pre release version of tune box that Bart has just finished. He tells me the driver for the chip they use is a Generic driver that was prone to glitches. HPI asked the designer of the chip to develop a driver for programing. That is the new driver he sent along. After MANY failed attempts he believes I have a defective cdi, and is shipping a new one asap. I PRAY that is the issue. Time is ticking away, and I am sitting here looking at my sexy but dead Ign set.
Soooo for the rest... I have the speedo housing done, and my welder is coming on Fri next for the frame mods. I have Picts but you all can't see them. My phone is no longer talking to my computer. I think they had a fight when I went to the store cause when I got home the computer was in sleep mode, and the phone was sobbing on the bathroom floor. Whatever the cause I gave them till tomorrow to sort it out or one of them has to go.
The only chassis part left for me is stripping, and painting the frame. Then It's all for you guys... I'm gonna open the cases again, and do some radical port work I have been debating. Basically i want 15% more volume in the intake tract, and 5% more in the transfers.
I figure the jug is 40% bigger than the OEM so the cases should be as well. I guesstimate I have already hit 20-25% increase in the previous port work so the rest is gravy. Gonna open the exh by 4mm on each side, and bring the forward transfers up 1.25mm to stagger the opening, and widen the power band.
On paper this is a sick engine. In the scoot it should be a Demon.
