im having leaking from my engine, not sure exactly where, but i was wondering where i could possibly buy or how i could possibly make aluminum gaskets for my grubee engine. i was hoping to run it on ethanol, so i thought i might as well redo all the gaskets while im at it. how hard can it be?

and if you use a higher compression it has more power if u use esther based oil
 
They still are a 2 stroke, very very dirty little buggers
If your worried about the environment buy a 4 stroke kit

Why do you think it's leaking?
 
either its leaking or clogged with silicone gasket maker somehow. or the cdi is messed up. i ordered a new cdi and coil and a spark plug. and set of normal gaskets. but i would prefer aluminum so it can withstand ethanol longer. and its not that dirty. i actually used the bike in the pouring rain and the magneto case had water in it, and everything was soaked. also i used silicone gasket maker on the fuel line to stop a leak. it actually still works. theres still compression. but i cant get the spark plug to spark by spinning the wheel. also four strokes require oil changes and id rather mix oil, screw that. more power. even with ethanol and a normal head, 66cc 2 stroke vs 48cc 4 stroke. a new one is 50$ so yea, worst case scenario i just swap it, their all the same. golden eagle engines are expensive and slow.
 
It's not getting spark because the mag shorted out, cdi is bad, or plug is bad no reason to replace everything on motor but what's wrong actually wrong with it
 
it leaks from where the magneto is as well, oil/gas , so i assume a gasket is messed up somewhere. it would be easier to replace everything once with aluminum gaskets and not have to do it again.
 
Wow are you ever wrong on using Alcohol based fuels in a 2-stroke!
The engine gets it's lube via a gas/oil mix, and Alcohol breaks the oil down!

Heck, I buy Premium gas because it has the LEAST amount of ethanol in it!
