Well I opened my first china engine not knowing what to expect.
Well I have built many two strokes over the years, but NEVER have
I seen what I saw today.Not all bad, but just stupid stuf.
First thing was the intake gasket was so much smaller then the
intake port or the intake manifold. It would make this engine run
as it had a restrictor plate behind the carburetor. As I removed
the head I noticed several washers under the acorn head nuts.
I figured that out right away.But even with all those washer a
stud till came out from the acorn nut bottomed out.My, & they
had spring lock washers under the head nuts also.
I almost fell down laughing.Other than the ports not lining up,
which I expected there not to bad looking little engines.I chucked
up all the acorn nuts in my lathe & turned the closed end off everyone
of them one this engine.They won't bottom out now (WINK).
But this is really fun & cheap easy fix.I,m a hug college football fan
& been messing with this little engine at haft times & between games.
Tomorrow it get this thing done, before my new bike arrives.I will
post pic,s when I get it all together.
You guys are the best, & been Soooooooo much help.I don't plan
on making a race motor out of this little guy, just make it reliable
& run as it was designed too.
Keep you guys posted, Fly
