hey yall. this is my first post on here.(sometimes i can be hard to understand when typing.)... my indy 500 has a hard time going over 60, it slowly creeps to 70, then nothing. it used to hit 85 no problem. now, this is what i got... pin er on the start, then past bout 45mph, the exhaust has a throaty sound, not brappy as usual. it hangs out at just below 7 grand on the tach. it usually goes 7,400rpm on WOT. lets say im just ripping around in the yard, its nice n snappy, torquey,.. just runs good, but find a straight-a-way, it just has no balls when WOT. i have also noticed there is air getting in the coolant. there is a very small tear-leak from the head, but that never caused a problem before. after riding less a mile, ill flip the pressure cap and air will come out and i get more coolant back. its got new plugs in er 250 miles ago, there burning equal and nicely colored. i run premium (fresh) and i use amsoil hp injector only. good stuff. i can say this, before i noticed this change in performance, i towed an old 70 skee horse up and down bumpy hills. one hill i het 8 grand on the tach. head was hot, hah like cook an omlette hot. it was fairly warm out tho.. like 30f -ish. idk if all this is easy to understand.:dunno: sorry if your confused. thanks
