Shawn, it depends how much you weigh, and the size of the track/parking lot you plan to use. I attached a copy of the WB580 power curve from Go Power's ~1960 treatise, How to Hop Up Your West Bend. I'll also attach the centerfold of the McCulloch owners manual (gearing table). In the days of the slide-rule, that was probably extra handy! 72/10 = 7.2:1. That would be ideal if you're over 200 lbs on a small track (perhaps a 100 yard straightaway?). If you're smaller, or you have more room to run, you could go as tall as 60/10 = 6.0:1. Remember to upload pics! Attachment: WB580_power_curve_Go-Power.jpg (Downloaded 73 times)
