So i just finished cleaning up the intake and exhaust ports, as well as polishing the exhaust port on my 80cc metrakit. I blew it out with compressed air and then cleaned it with gas. I then put some 2 stroke oil on it to prevent rust. I cleaned it pretty good, but when i was putting the oil on it, i felt a couple pieces of metal dust. Will such a minimal amount of very fine dust cause problems or no?

Re: Metal shavings/dust
take it apart, clean it and put some new bearings in while your at it!! you don't want to fuck up your 300 dollar kit right?
Re: Metal shavings/dust

Re: Metal shavings/dust
User some super hot water with some dish soap and scrub it until its clean, then clean it again for good measure, then finally clean it again and rinse it with really hot water. Lube it up with good 2 stroke oil and throw it on.

Sorry Allen it wasnt Nate it was me on Nates account.

So can i throw it in the dishwasher? lol jk.
Re: Metal shavings/dust
Yes you can. I've done it, works great. Don't forget to rinse with plenty of water afterwards, to get soap residue out. And lube it b4 you mount it ;)
Re: Metal shavings/dust
Wash that out with dawn dish soap with really hot water, scrub the fuck out of it and rinse the hell out of it with the hottest water you can get. Do this several times and then oil everything.
