bignasty1 Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 just a couple of tips for ya that helpt me out when i had a shee to rebuild. 1.clymers manual. 2.plastic bags. kinda with zippers. 3.a black sharpie marker. 4.label every damn thing you take off there. 5. take pictures so you can see how things were soposed to go. take ur time. 6.and have fun with it. there will be frustrating time when tearing down and taking apart. but remember they are worth it. 7. dont forget to ask more questions on here when you have them. the only way to learn is by asking questions. and experience. 8. and dont skimp on time. do everything correctly other wise you pay for it. 9. you'll need a decent torque wrench. and most importantly dont forget the beer. and friends to help. have fun man. i miss workin on my baby.

frocashmoney24 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 i agree with everything nasty said, its not that bad doing it, i just did mine and was worried to hell bout it, then i did it and i realized how easy it is to tear apart a 2 stroke motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 There is one thing I STRONGLY disagree with. 9. you'll need a decent torque wrench. You don't need a decent torque wrench. You need a GOOD quality torque wrench. Decent won't cut it with anything that needs to be torqued properly. I have lost motors due to improper spec'd "decent" wrenches. Go to Sears, and pick up a microtork torque wrench. If you can, get one that reads from 20-250 in./lb. and get another one that goes 20-250 lb.ft. Trust me, you will need both. I have tested my craftsman microtorks after a year of abuse in the shop and they are still dead ballnutz on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts96fast Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 i agree with everything nasty said, its not that bad doing it, i just did mine and was worried to hell bout it, then i did it and i realized how easy it is to tear apart a 2 stroke motor I felt the same way.My buddy and I built mine and was easier them we thought!!!Take Your time with everything.Personally I never crack a beer until I was done working for the night.building a 2-stroke for the first time and drinking could= big problems.The only thing that was a pain-in-the-ass was torqueing the nut for the inner hub.Once I found a tool to hold it all was good!

MotulMonsta Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I broke my innerhub once when I tq'd it. 26 bucks for a brand new one. Didn't upset me for very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts96fast Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 make sure you grease the seals and oil the bearings!!!You don't want to start the engine dry the first time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
