    eek Long Rod Jetting

    Stock Rod 125mm, currently running a 133mm Rod with a spacer plate. Wobbly posted the need to run much leaner jetting (I believe 145 from 165), trying to understand the reasoning behind this, I have never had to go this lean before & ran out of jets before getting close, was concerned about that lean of jetting, but after searching here, hoping this could be normal. Again trying to understand the why part?

    I would love to know too, and used this search term "" long rod site:https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/ ''" to turn up a whole lot of references to long rods on the ESE thread. I then got distracted reading something else that was interesting.

    Enter all of this in Google to find references to long rods on the ESE thread :-

    I have learned more in the last year reading posts from you, Wobbly and others than I have in the previous 50 years of 'playing' with two strokes.

    I do not have much to offer to the discussion (apart from more questions!) but some may find this useful. Rather than use the site search which usually fails, use Google so to search this site use an ordinary search phrase and after it add

    site:www.kiwibiker.co.nz

    for example

    Frits priceless site:www.kiwibiker.co.nz
    or
    Frits pisa site:www.kiwibiker.co.nz

    the same will work for other sites with the appropriate site address

    Long Rod Jetting...

    I did a Rotax 257 single years ago for sprint kart racing, filling the crank webs with that UHWMP stuff.
    This raised the case com form down near 1.3 up to about 1.35.
    It needed complete rejetting and the main dropped from a 185 to a 165 due to the much stronger signal across the jets.
    Going the other way on a 250 tandem twin by fitting long ( 120 ) rods and making full circle ( no pockets ) cranks, the jets then need to be huge
    in size by comparison.
    Honda used the short rod for years in the customer engines, but when push came to shove the final version used to win the last 250GP title used a long rod, for a reason obviously.
    The big reed boxes that design had from day one, gave a relatively big case volume by default.

    In my experience if a case reed is done as well as it can be ( look at a TM - KZ10 ) then there is very little difference in power if a cylinder reed
    is also done properly with plenty of intake STA via piston cutouts and big Boyesens or floor ports.
    The only real difference is that the boost port duct does not have a proper inner wall, and thus the flow regime is not as well controlled.
    I finally found it...I had it backwards , requires richer jetting with the longer rod.

    This page is what led me to LOTS of reading & Wobblys Post....

    My search results have been miserable here & using google, I will try the way you posted next.

    Thanks for the help!

    Without varying the crankcase volume.
    We went from 112 to 113 and 115, later 118 was tried, still better.
    For the RSA we had to lengthen the connecting rod from 115 to 120 to improve inlet flow: more power.
    It is mainly due to piston friction I think.
    NSU already found this in 1953, piston friction was the main source of friction in their 250 4-stroke engine.
    It may be different for a reed valve engine, I have not much experience with these.
    But the piston friction loss will, of course, be the same in a reed valve engine.

    Of course at BDC there is no difference as you have to adjust the cylinder height!
    Maybe it is interesting that with a longer connecting rod I could use higher transfer ports on my 50.
    Getting still more power!

    The crankcase volume also changes, of course, unless you change the position of the piston pin in the piston, as we did at Aprilia
    This can be better or worse....
    You can change your crankcase volume in many ways.
    But always keep in mind that flow is more important than volume.....
    On rotary valve engines I found the bigger the better, within reason of course....
    The Aprilia engines had very narrow crank wheels, (16mm) so a very big crankcase volume. About 660cc in TDC
    A big crankcase volume makes very long inlet timings necessary.
    And big carburetors.

    This is probably the reason why reed-valve engines need a smaller crankcase volume.
    The reeds 'decide' for themselves when to open...
    They need some depression.
    And because maximum inlet flow is probably determined by the reed block, big carburetors won't work on a reed-valve engine.
    They just slow down the flow in the carburetor, making for a difficult carburetor adjustment.

    So I think that a rotary valve engine will always give about 3-4 HP more (125cc) than a reed valve engine.
    Because of its unrestricted inlet flow and less pumping losses.
    If the longer rod has consistently yielded more power, why have some manufacturers gone to shorter rods?

    KTM used to use a 132 Rod with a 29.7 compression height piston, then a 129 Rod & now a 125 with a 38 compression height. I would think case volume (and cylinder height) would be the same on these motors based on these numbers. What would be positive about the shorter rod length?

    you are not supposed to click on the link, you have to copy everything between "" ..... "" and paste that in google. that way google searches the term long rod only on Kiwibiker.

    if you want to search something else, you simply change long rod in exhaust duct for exapmle, so you paste exhaust duct site:https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php/ in google (everything that's underlined)

    The only thing to add re case volume is that a reed engine does not respond well at all to " going bigger " than around 1.3 ratio.
    The bigger volume does have a positive effect, just as it does in a RV, but this is badly offset by the change in Helmholtz frequency,that then affects the reed
    petals 1st natural resonance.
    This requires thinner and thinner petals, to get the resonance working again correctly, and these thin petals ( or less backup pressure ) causes them to go spastic.
    They hit the stops and rebound, or simply wave about all over the place with no control, and this creates havoc with power - on the dyno as well as in the sim.
    You can see this happening in the sim, with huge differences in the reed lift profile, from iteration to iteration, and overall power drops.
    This is why its very difficult to model reed stiffness correctly,you must "guess " the main petal thickness to take into account the backups stiffness/effectiveness.
    Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.

    I am constantly surprised to see how few people know about Google Advanced Search https://www.google.com/advanced_search which does it all for you.

    I used KB thread search , advanced option, single content and came up with these. for "Long rod" and Mr wobbly.
    it took 1/2 second.............
    make sure if you are looking for a particuilar phrase to include "" marks...
    Otherwise you will find Mr wob uses the word long a rather lot of times.....

    But using different terms in regards to case volume and jetting gives this which is i assume what he was wanting

    This means a difference of 0.1 from "big" to "small", and the 50cc change in the case, represents 1/2 of the engines swept displacement by the piston in a 100cc bucket..
    Aprilias latest engines are in the high 1.2s - and a very fast NZ champ 50 quad I built had 1.42, both on the very outer limits.
    Changing from 1.4 to 1.3 would need huge jetting changes, like 4 mains, and this then affects the bsfc, and the pumping efficiency,needing a whole new approach to the transfer designs as well.
    It goes on and on.
    When you consider what happens when you change say the primary com from 13:1 up to 16:1,then this shows the relativity of the difference created.
    But again - even the primary com change has huge effects that are not directly related to the numbers.
    16:1 would need Avgas to stop deto obviously and this com would give great jump of the turns but would stop any pipe design from overeving.
    Thus a high com engine needs a short pipe, or lots of retard, due to all the heat of combustion being released into the piston and the water - not the exhaust, making it appear longer to the engine. etc etc.
    Change one element of a 2T and you are then looking at a whole raft of changes needed to optimise that setup,and it will never "work" if just one other element isnt synergistic with the rest.
    And remember a general comment I made a while ago, about crap transfer ducting "liking" higher CCR ratios.
