 Re: two failures
The engine cooled down enough for me to check it out. I found that it was the mount that I forgot to put the tie bar on. The mount is actually built to the motor and I forgot to tie the top and bottom rails together at the rear. The road vibration twisted the mount because the brace was missing so all is not lost.
Of course the engine is ruined but I have more spare parts now. I guess the chainsaw bike will get a lot more use now. Actually I was giving thought to getting rid of the 25cc anyway. More power more power lol.
I do use a u strap on the front and tie it down, but with a spring. The gravity clutch requires that the engine move.
I think the chainsaw bike and the new full suspension will be enough for me, even if I sell the china bike. |
