i have been super excited to get this thing togeather since i bought the "donor" bicycle 2 weeks ago, my motor came 2 days ago and i have been working on the assembly since. i am pretty sure that ill have to re-do my sproket mounting bolts since i put them on with the nut on the outside and ground them all off once tight..... in my eyes that was mechanic do it now excitement that will only pose a problem later down the road. (not to mention the fact that my sproket is pushing on my bearing cap because the center needs to be ground larger.... a do over is in order)
fenders are coming off.... the back one has already been dispatched to the garage attic.
can someone give me some pointers on the kit i selected to buy perhaps? its an all black 80cc frame mounted 2 stroke that looks like the ch or grubee starfires but its just the bone stock ebay one. i guess i dont really care anymore about gas and go but ive leaned towards the enthusiast side since id like to ride it 30 minutes to work almost every day reliabley. i am one of those believers that a 2 stroke will last forever if run right. the proof here is that i had an old 85 tri moto 3 wheeler that ran great for its first 3 gears and a at idle cruise in 4th with manwich-sloppy bottom end bearings. the thing was never opened and altho semi tacticly started would always go with a fresh sniff of pure gas down the cylinder and a push start followed by a talented feathering of the throttle to get the old reeds snappin'!
i will be working on this first thing in the morning and ill load up a picture or two, i also will be bringing home a sandwich bag full of shot for my bars from work, its easily accessibble since we refurbish propane tanks and have a gigantic 8 paddled dual motored shot blaster cabinet..... yea i can scoop a bar fillings worth of shot off the shop floor before i sweep!
i have seen pictures of chains with alot of slop in them is this proper so long as the teeth are all nice and smooth? ahhhhh sacrament i really should get to bed or else i wont get any wrench time on it in the morning before work!
hope to make some buddies on here id like to learn as much as i can about the 2 stroke kits, i am a smoking enthusiast as you can tell by the tri moto story..... i also had a yamaha banshee running "real good" a few years ago and since im in school getting a diploma in small engine repair i might as well refine my tuning skills have any of you ever heared of a guy named a. graham bell? he wrote two books one called 4 stroke performance tuning and the other 2 stroke performance tuning. both amazing books as far as formulas and measuring goes! dang im tired! haha goodnight folks, -dave
(my pocketbike engine... cag under construction as well. the parking lot assasin im going to haul it with my mo-bike when its been run in real good )
