my xl with picco wont wheelie

[sammyguy]

just as it says it wont wheelie i have 16cb 52sg cen diffs and badlands on maximizer beadlocks I tune it to run around 220f and it still wont lift the front wheels unless i hit a bump now i know the xls longer but hell i watch vids of the 5.9 pulling wheelies with ease with all stock stuff.

Gearing could be part of the culprit. with cens you gotta kick your cb down 2 teeth to maintain your close to your desired gearing.

for example, your runnin 16t / 52 with cens is more like 18t/52.

If your looking for closer to the ratio you got with 16t/52 your gonna need to drop down to 14t/52.

that 220 temp makes me tend to think your runnin on the fat side also.

How much fuel have you run through the engine?

 

[sammyguy]

just under a gallon through it now I have tried leaning it out and have actually had it running over 300 but never long as soon as i caught it i richened it. I hope it hasn't done any damage to the engine. it rips but it just doesnt seem to wanna wheelie. I'm also not running stock size tires either I'm running badlands which i think measure 5 inches instead of the terra pins that measure 7 inches

Welcome to the club. I've got the XL with 16/52 gearing and the 5.9 and the truck is extremely fast and runs sweet but the thing will not wheelie. Even from a stop. My slipper is tightened and everything else is runnung smooth. I think worn clutch shoes are to blame even though it is still fast I think they have enough wear to prevent the wheelies. I have 2.5 gallons on these shoes.

Wheelies are nice but a little over rated I will take straight forward accleration anyday over having to baby the throttle to keep the wheels down

don't let bank see you tellin someone to put 14/52 on a picco ;-D i ran 15/52 for a few runs in the back yard with my picco and all of a sudden i was a "noob"

The temps of 300f along with under a gallon of fuel would tell me that the engine is not broken-in yet, they can take more then a gallon sometimes before your "friction heat" goes away and your tune brings the power up. I wouldn't worry about it yet, just run it a little more rich and give it time to do what it needs to.

thats all that matters. if i didn't have to walk up to my trucks everytime they flipped over id be happy. hence the re gear I'm doing on the picco right now.

Silly lil noob this was not about your gearing. but anything/52 on a picco should flip over with ease all day. Id say its still tight and Ill quote robin.
