Hi there crew!
I thought I would share with you my recent upgrade from Whizzer Outerbanks, Quenton Guenther.
I recently purchased a 1999 Whizzer. I knew almost instantly I'd need to figure out how to upgrade this critter due to the high altitude (7000 feet), and rolling hills needed to buzz around the area.
Pluse, I love speed and making things perform better. Who better to contact then our very own, Quenton Guenther!
After a PERFECT transaction with him, I had a new NE5 setup in the mail. It arrived packaged perfectly with everything labeled and ready to go.
Here is a picture as I started:

First step was to remove that ol' WC-1 motor.

My wife ran an errand, so onto the kitchen table!!!

As mentioned Quenton sent the step by step instructions that were VERY easy to follow and do. Cylider off and ready for the next step:

I polished the piston, cleaned all mating surfaces and assembled the new setup:

I then ran the motor with an electric drill for 6 repetitions of 3 minutes each, varying RPM's:

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE:::::::
I put a couple table spoons of oil down the spark plug hole, and obviously had the spark plug OUT and everything free so that while spinning, everything was lubricated well.
Word to the wise.....Keep your FACE away from that hole until you give the oil time to settle in and get into the rings. I will not post a picture of my face.....but here is the wall behind me:

Now to adjust the timing. USE A HAMMER screwdriver, or tap and turn using a hammer, be forceful yet ginger with the phillilps screws holding the side cover on:
Here is what I used:

Side cover off (I drained oil) you can see the timing marks - see how the cam is advanced ONE tooth counter clockwise?

and....
http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h163/cinez/Whizzers/IMG_5047.jpg
Time for the cover to go back on!!! (USE factory manual or install screws in an alternating fasion).
http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h163/cinez/Whizzers/IMG_5045.jpg
Then, I buttoned her all up, and SHE FIRED like a champ. I can tell there is MUCH MUCH more torque, just in the idle. It sounds mean and ready to take on the high elevation and hills around the areas.
Quenton, your not only a great new friend, your an awesome asset to this site and the Whizzer community - thank you so much for everything.
Here is my finished product, complete with K&N:

and one more....

I hope you guys enjoyed a little of the fun I have had the past couple of days.
Best wishes from your friend in Colorado (more pictures to come)
