wot (wide open throttle) should be in the 5600-5900 if i owned it. this is what everything is based on to little wiil result in lugging the motor and to high will overrev the motor both kill motor life u need to be in manufacters recomended wot rpm to get the most out of your motor what is your wot rpm? wot does not hurt 2 strokes if your question is what should u run at thats up to u

Hi, ok is the 5600 to 5900 the manufacture rpm range? And I guess with that prop that should not affect anything?
Thanks greatly.
