 Re: Chainsaw masacre
So I put aside the little 25cc and went back to work on the chainsaw bike. The first thing I did was to take the engine off the bike. The mount was not very secure. Probably why I kept putting it off.
The new mount and getting new holes drilled and then getting it assembled took a lot of the day. Once I had it secured to the bike frame I tried to start it. It just would not start. I just knew I had plenty of gas. I had been pouring gas into the tank off and on as I had gas left over from other builds.
I finally took a look and it was all gone. Evaporated or leaded I have no idea which. I put on a different tank and some gas but somehow from an empty tank I managed to flood it. I pulled the plug and let it sit in the sun for an hour while I switched out some tires. I put the tire and wheel from the sissy test bike onto the big ole huffy with the chain saw. I had just bought a new rear tire for the test bike so I might as well use it on the chainsaw bike.
Then I put a clown tire on the test bike. I might try to start it after I finish the chainsaw bike.
The chainsaw bike started fine after I let it dry out. I think it might not need to be choked with that carb on. I'm not sure since I was having all the dregs of the gas trouble with it. I should know tomorrow.
I built a couple of air filters. I wound up using to peanut butter jar lids and some foam rubbler I had laying about. Actually it was one peanut butter jar lid and one dukes mayonnaise jar lid. That is what's on the chain saw.
It's two peanut butter lids on the 25cc bike. I am going to change the construction of the 25cc air filter. I think it might be choking the bike. Use the thin foam and cut more holes in the top. I had one of those donuts with just a few holes. That's tomorrow's project. |
