Oh, and once again the moron who claims to be a network maven who
operates an internet services company proves he knows no more about the
internet than he does about "wrenching" a winning motorbike.

Wrenching a motorbike???
He couldn't figure out what was wrong with a pressure washer.
Some mechanic.............. he must get his mechanical advice from
JohnnyH.

Uh, I fixed the pw within an hour or so.... Never had one apart before.
And as to wrenching, don't be a douchbag pig boy, Jessica and I do all
the work on the bike. We did a top end with piston, rings, valves (shop
cut valve seats and honed piston) and a few other minor parts. She did
90% of the work with me offering guidance on spoooging the thing with
oil and I used the torque wrench. She did the rest from sliding the
cylinder over the piston, to lining up the timing chain and cams. The
thing starts first kick, I am very proud of her and we saved almost 600
bucks doing the job ourselves... *Now, back to the filter with you pig
boy, go clean your yard...

The only 2 cycle engine I've ever "wrenched " was a 1977 Arctic Cat
Zenon 440 cc free-air snowsled. Twin 32 mm Mikunis .I found working on
the engine very calming for some reason. When I got the engine the
cylinder pressure was ...like...75 lbs in one, and 80 in the other.
Neat thing : the " Cat Wizard " as I called him ( a Grass Dragger )
told me instead of new rings, (there are only TWO on each slug on this
particular engine) try taking both off, and swapping top for bottom.
Great idea! Not only did it save me some coin, but brought BOTH
cylinders up to 110 lbs.

Did that Sled ever fly after I put it back together,and re-installed
the correct exhaust ! Took it for a test run, sans hood, and 3/4 the
way across a 50 acre field, the Sled was still breaking ground.Mind
you, that was with metal bars (cleated ) on the track, and 120 " Tiger
Claws " down the center . I drove it one day so fast on the road that
I couldn't catch my breath. It was -15 that day. The Sled would easily
top 70 MPH. Ya, I know, its not that fast, but fast enough for me.70
MPH on a Sled feels like 110, especially when you're on a ice-covered
road. Glad I had Carbide ski runners !!

Had to sell it, cause it wasnt any good for trails. You HAD to
maintain at least 30 MPH to keep it cool. The thing was a " Lake Racer
", as we called it.
