Ill check it out next week Got to make the most of the sunshine Probably just too few revs for anything more than a whiff of throttle at an indicated 50mph. If it still happens at that speed in 4th or 3rd then it could be a problem. The engine will be labouring and upsetting the compensator. The X-Wedge is anything but the low rev monster that many assume it to be.

This baby wants nothing to do with less than 2,800 RPM. 3,000 is the start of her happiness. 3,500-4,000 is her chill area.

If you have a Centa compensator it probably will vibrate and rumble a bit when pulling from those sort of revs. As others have said this engine doesn't like low revs much, although it is much more tolerant with a better exhaust than standard.
