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... -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 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. |
