Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 So I'm torn. He's finally talking to me and taking this seriously. He told me where to set timing, pickup gap, and plug gap and I'm very close on all 3 already. He's asked for jetting, what the plugs look like, he's asked what carbs I'm running 3 times, pipes, and everything else. He thinks my 4mil being 2-3 lengths ahead in 300' is a "huge gap" and that if I want more power I just need different domes. Idk, I'm debating reassembling the engine tonight and putting the head on first and then torque the jugs to see if my squish changes. To a more even number. So far, he's said my pipes are holding me back (I know that) and he thinks I have a leak after the carbs however my leak down test was perfect 2 rides ago.

Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm about to. Anyone interested in a mint 4mil crank? Lol 5 days of riding on it. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Doobie420 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 no... trash it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm going to give his parts one more shot, I'm going to reassemble the engine, try putting the head on differently, and check squish again. I'll have the new domes from Justin this week. That would make the squish on this crank right. Although I know she needs a hot rods crank. He's staying on the path that I have an air leak though. He thinks my jetting is like way way off and that's all that's wrong. Idk Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Woah. Wait. Wait. Weren't you getting 2 different measurements of stroke? Or was that resolved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n2otoofast4u Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 FFS I see a "my crank exploded thread in the near future " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheerider11 Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 And your still going to run that crank? I'm lost. So your going to just change the domes? I didn't read through the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I didn't say I was going to run it, merely put the head on the jugs and snug it up before I torque the jugs. Don't remember who made that suggestion but it makes sense Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Sheerider, it's still an issue. Toofast, I'm only going to mock the engine up on my bench to see if the squish changes with the parts torqued in a different order. Kevin is still fishing for info and looking for an out in this deal. He hasn't mentioned the PayPal claim but I am sure that's what sparked this conversation today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Your chasing your tail. Unless you like to waste more time and money, go for it. New crank, new domes, done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I'm not going to buy a crank until the PayPal claim is settled. I might end up with the hotrods like I originally thought I was getting. Kevin is clearly not going to give. He just went from criticizing my leak down test to telling me my jetting is the issue. Dude is looking for an out bad Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Send him your crank, get a refund, buy a HotRods. Or just send his back and offer to pay the difference. If they are really better he should be stoked to have another awesome crank laying around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 hotrods also uses the same TPI taiwan bearings. for a low budget trail bike i suppose they might be ok but i probly wouldnt use them for anything else. why is the flywheel end of the crank have so much discoloration ? that nut looks like something from the hardware store.

Lowroll Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 The first time I ran this engine it started chattering really bad. Flywheel had come loose. I thought it sheared the key. It was torqued down too. That nut and lock washer were on this bike when I got it. I thought it was stock. I reinstalled the flywheel, torqued again and it's been fine since.
