Yeah that kept going through my mind, over and over again, as I was gluing the bolt in place. LOLThat's sensible, glue and stressed moving parts in an engine is not a good combination.
I thought my engine seized up as well after the engine quit. When I checked my oil it was way low. I'm guessing that could cause the piston head to weld itself to the cylinder wall and cause it to seize up. I have full travel of my piston and good compression.Sounds like your Doodlebug has the potential for being salvaged. Mine however is frozen tight. Close to the same scenerio of losing power and then crapping out only there is no getting the crank to turn. Good luck and please post your findings!
Fair enough. It will be 75 degrees and sunny here tomorrow and I'm gonna Ride Like The Wind or ride until my engine seizes up or explodes on me......whichever comes first.Haven't looked. It's about 17 degrees in my garage and I went through about $200-$300 in propane last year so it's going to sit for a while.
You're killing me here! Too busy at work anyway but maybe after the new year I can get back to it.Fair enough. It will be 75 degrees and sunny here tomorrow and I'm gonna Ride Like The Wind or ride until my engine seizes up or explodes on me......whichever comes first.
Whats this I just heard on the news for this Sunday??? Sunny and 81 degrees? Hottest temp in the entire country for Sunday? LOLYou're killing me here! Too busy at work anyway but maybe after the new year I can get back to it.
It still lives with the original 49cc engine reinstalled. It just no longer lives with me. It has a new owner. Sigh. LOLSniff, - where do we send the flowers?
Thanks man. I did the best I could do while using a stock bicycle frame. My next bike is gonna be with a frame I design myself with motorcycle tires, rims and forks.Holy crap dude!!! You just set a new bar for me. Nice... nice artistic influence on that bike. I like your style man.
The tank is off a 1970's moped off ebay. Ebay has everything if you happen to look at the right time.where did you get that tank? Do they have anything more curvy, say for an Onex?
