I've got a dual plug Viperhead for the YS 91 (bought it used from Sluggo a while back) and I want to install it. I looked at the manual on OMI's website, but I couldn't find any info on the correct shim arrangement to use.

Does anyone know??

Thanks!

James probably told him it depended on the fuel he was using.

Cool Power and Power Master 30% One .004 shim that comes with the head only, Possibly the .008 stock shim only depending on climate.

With Magnum 30% The stock .008 shim that comes with the motor, may also have to add the .004 shim that comes with the head for a total of .012 in shims.

This is what I determined when I was testing the prototype Viperhead for James to go on the YS 91.

The testing was done when the temps were in mid 90's with about 75% humidity.

Yep, James told me pretty much word for word what DavidH just said.
