the gila monster flys!

ran my first tank of gas today ,this gila eats hills for lunch. the tecno hunter works great for the city and for hills ,great low end mid and top isnt bad plus it bolt righ up no mods. the hunter is off my tomos but i think it for a puch but im not shure.

the problem i am having is getting the motor to turn over,there is just sooo much compression the back tire wants to just skidd ,im going to wear out the rear tire in no time. also i am haveing trouble keeeping the clutch from slipping on the crank, but once i get it running she flys.

i am going to go with the estoril, the hunter works great but it sounds like a dirtbike.

did you match the bore of the case by hand? share your tips please.

Re: the gila monster flys!

i did the case with a hand drill and cone shape grinding bit,i did one side at a time then put the two halves together to finish fitting. it took me all nite long to do it.

once i finally got the cylinder to slide in then check for the piston skirt clearance,i used a dremel to remove that part of the case.

be very careful to pay attention to make sure you are leaving enough case area for the base gasket to seal and dont get too close to the studs

Re: the gila monster flys!

what carb/jetting are you running? I love my gila with an 8p, sickening top end.

Re: the gila monster flys!

I reccomend a head gasket. Or two. Those things run to high PSI.

Coco we are still waiting on the video!

Re: the gila monster flys!

video of running gila comming soon

Re: the gila monster flys!

what made you decide to go with the 80 gila over the 80 metra?

Re: the gila monster flys!

gila over metra is a easy choice , reed valves and no need to weild the case. the metra spits gas out the carb.

i put 3 tanks of gas thru the gila ,i really like the power it has going up these ohio mountains. i am haveing trouble with my starter clutch but the kit works great,fires right up,runs smooth and very quiet with the dmp pipe.

heres the video of the gila running,i have the idle set a bit high but it will idle very low and smooth

Re: the gila monster flys!

I have still yet to see a gila faster than mine or shaws 80 metras, until I do I still think that the metra is the beast of the 80 kits.

Re: the gila monster flys!

babooze has a 70mph fast gila ,my gila is not the fastest out there but then again i wasnt looking to build the fastest ped.

Re: the gila monster flys!

sounds amazing with that DMP pipe.

upload a video now if it running!

Re: the gila monster flys!

how do the gilas compare to the metras when it comes to reliability and not fucking it up?

Re: the gila monster flys!

BootyClap Ninja /

they are the same. It comes down to user error my friend.

Re: the gila monster flys!

Take a link off that chain man,that shit is loose as hell.

Re: the gila monster flys!

BootyClap Ninja /

uh no its not.

Re: the gila monster flys!

Re: the gila monster flys!

Re: the gila monster flys!
