hey smity how much did that carb set you back?

hey i saw the video. that thing sounds alot more tame compared to the polini puch video. i bet both are still faster than my ped though

ohh ok

whoops

yeah and they break as well

...as you can see from these two pics, there is some radical ramping that needs to be done. MUST be careful not to grind through the case, and make sure to leave plenty of gasket sealing surface.

or maybe the engines are Morini...something with an "m"

Smitty, what kinds of dremel bits do you use?

I imagine you use different ones for the rough cutting, the fine cutting and finally the polishing. I saw some diamond tip bits today, are they any good?

... step three ...

They are called CICLO's .. I bet its nice down I would bring back a shit load of kits.. cylindero kit cost 20 us bucks..lol

well, they are in the fall here, but it is pretty warm. and yes, those zinella peds i

...I don't like the way this one laid when it cured, so I cleaned it off, and started again.

At this stage particularly, it is imperative that close attention to every detail counts. This is about the 2nd most time consuming and tedious part of the task at this stage.

I've had much better results by letting the Yamabond cure over-night, before assembly. Several reasons I do it this way. After the gasket maker is cured, it's a very nice rubber-like (not silicone). It's plyable, but stiff. Also, if you assemble right away (or before cured), then you take a chance of it oozing into the engine, with no way of getting it back out, and therefore it's likely to mix and mingle with the internal moving parts, and likely block oil passeges. Then you're ruining the engine with sticky goo all through-out the lower and top-end, as well as the transmission (where applicable).

Naw, I'd rather do it the way I've seen professional dirt-bike engine builders do.

The only draw-back is like today, when yesterday I was pressed for time, but wanted to get the gasket on, I didn't have the chance to spread the sealant as I normally do, and when I inspected it this morning, I was disappointed in it so bad I took it all off and started all over again, LOL!!! Which worked-out just as well, because in between then I added another enhancement to the crankcase...heheheha ;^)

Yea 100cc for the minarelli L1 too..

100c for manarelli L1?

Don't you mean 86cc, and V1? I've never heard of an L1.

I used loctite 515, check it out smitty. It doesn't start to harden until its cut off from air. I have used it to put together my brothers puch e-50, worked nice. "Loctite 515 is an anaerobic compound, specifically formulated for sealing flat flanges on machined surfaces. This product has high surface adhesion properties, which will assist in holding a seal in the housing or mating two surfaces together. High viscosity prevents migration of the product from the sealing surfaces during assembly and cure."
