Have run a stock 16hp CV16 with the governor removed. Pretty amazing power for 426cc. I think Smartspark which give a reasonable advance curve makes a big difference. I'm sure a billet flywheel would help as well.

If it has blades I'm not interested.

With the engine stock, and governer removed, did you gear it low? And if so how does it like it?

I ran a 6/4 an 12/13 to 46/48/50. That was with a billet flywheel.

It was geared reasonably high which meant it was slow off corners. It would probably benefit from a billet flywheel. Midrange power seemed real good.They don't like being revved hard though  possibly due to hydraulic lifters.
