Mine failed like this when the shop tested it cold... then the next day they retested at operating temp. and it passed with flying colours. I have my air pump hooked up to an aftermarket high-flow cat.

she pass last time with none. but this time its premix and its running real rich, and im sure running "racing only" 2 stroke oil doesnt help lol, but i think i could manage if i had it running right.

How did you get it to pass?

i tuned it down to about 280 on the hc ppm idle running alcohol with very little premix (everything else was close too). then i added 2 cats in line, stiffened all my gas out, filled it with $20 of 91, added the 1gal of methyl hydrate and ooo so gingerly drove to the test.

when the guys did the test on it they were so surprised by the drastic change that they kept running it for a bit after it passed just to see what it could do. i wasnt very happy about that but i was overly glad that i made it pass. when i got in the car to leave the temp gauge was at 3/4

went and filled all the way with 91 and added enough premix for the hole tank.
