Any interest in a two stroke dirtbike build?..
From the last picture of the engine and frame on the bench, I went ahead and strip the frame of anything that it had left on it and set it aside...
I did do a compression check before I tore the engine down. And it seemed pretty good, but my gauge is very unreliable...
I took the head and cylinder off and the power valve areas were very dirty so I pulled those apart...
When I got the clutch mid cover off to see what the glob of JB weld was, it became extremely obvious...
The bolt that holds the drive gear to the crank shaft came loose and bored a hole through the case, and you'll love this instead of pulling the case off and tightening the bolt.
They just JB welded over the hole... :realcrazy: ...
Not fixed correctly, which wouldn't have took much at the time caused the seal behind it to break loose, and all the oil got sucked up out of the case and burnt through the engine and probably was fouling spark plugs like crazy... Of course I found this out when I went to dump the oil out of the case and about 4 t-spoons came out...:BangHead:...
The bolt was stripped and And getting the thread fixed in the crank was a real pain.. Thankfully, a local machine shop helped me out... Of course, to get to all that I had to split the case... This is and all the bearings seem to be good. But I did put new seals in everywhere... And I took the cylinder in to be honed and The guy said the piston was in good shape so I just bought new rings...
