Re: Connecticut MB Rally and Ride
He was running lean but it still doesn't make sense, but maybe it's that the lean conditions heated up the piston so much that the pressure of combustion blew a hole through super hot and cheap cast piston because the integrity was compromised. I bet if he were running richer this wouldn't have happened. The CNS carbs are notorious lean monsters with those stupid EPA settings... Poor guy

Re: Connecticut MB Rally and Ride
That is how my brother blew a whole in my Honda's piston running lean for a long ride. It never ran again, but I learned all about motorcycle engines in my attempt to fix it. I bet one of these HT motors would be an easy fix, my 350 was two cylinders and I think I never had the timing right.

Re: Connecticut MB Rally and Ride
I'm the guy that broke down. Funny thing is that it was running real good just before it went into melt down!
In any case, I had a great time! It was good to meet everyone (George of the Jungle, Andre the Giant, Beam me up Scotty to name a few) (it's a memory thing) and a total blast to be part of the group ride. I would never have ridden as far or as fast or on the the type of roads that we rode on by myself.
As far as the motor goes, I'll be ordering a new one from BGF and I'll use the old one as a parts motor. I'll probably also order an NT carb to replace my version 2 Speed Carb. Sound like a plan?

Re: Connecticut MB Rally and Ride
I think the z-80 he has is the same thing, but his price is high now. I hate that he uses the same engine pics in every add even thoe they are different.
