Mid-Range...Smooth..no mid range bog. but with no mid range needle, it is what it is. with no adjustment.

8/10

PRICE.....i paid $88 shipped...
10/10


FINALE THOUGHTS

I am pretty amazed with this mill. the price was great. it was one of the easiest break-ins, i've had the pleasure to do. i am on my second gal, and lovin it, so much so ....i have bought a second SH mill. it holds a tune extremly well. has tons of power. runs great at 240ish temp. the only draw back is the 2 needle carb.. i've read a post or two about the Sh mil not lasting as long as other mills. as to this, i can not comment on.... but if it blows at 4 or 5 gals. for $88.. what have i lost...peace

man, i never would have guessed.your just packed full of info bank.

 

[Bankrupter]

man, i never would have guessed.your just packed full of info bank.

Yea it was always said that they were but I took it for a grain of salt till I opened up my LRP 28 spec3 truggy and SH was cast into the bottom of the piston. Thats enough proof for me to take that from rumor to fact ... I don't see a 28 dyno sheet on Adams site so IDK if he has done one yet. I could call him but that wont get a sheet up any faster.

Great review.

What mills have you ran that you can compair it to?

I have thought about getting one to run for a cheep mill, I opted out for the Picco though, maybe next time.

Keep us informed as how it is running down the road and cant wait to see the video of her running.

I am glad your daughter is alright and walked away. Glad she was wearing her seat belt. Pretty sure since I have been on the Fire/Rescue team and been to several accidents I wear my seat belt pretty much all the time and before this I never did.
