Great work cheese. You certainly are cranking along.

[cheese]

Oh and yes I heat treated the frame with the heater while it dried. It's dried nice and hard now. I'm just waiting for teh metal sealant to dry off where the case was cracked. I just used my hot air gun to try adn speed it up as I think it's not curing as the engine is too cold.

[cheese]

ok, so the loctite 660 is finally starting to set (go teh hot air gun) upon reading the spec sheet, its' only for .5mm gaps, for larger holes it can take up to 3 days to cure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so teh heat gun is the go. It seems to be doing the job well.

The radiator guards that cost me a box of beer are a perfect fit!! Hooray! I'll have to mod them a tiny bit, but other than that its going to look good!!

I'll start on the assembly and all pivot points grease up soon.

ok pics update

I'm still wainting on theis god dam loctite to set!! I'll go get some accelorator tomorrow I think!

Radiators repaired with the guards I got off brain for a box of beers (woot!!)

clutch cover off and inside the engine

heat gun on the case that has been fixed with the loctite 660.

going to run the bike on the old piston to see if I've fixed the smoke issue. if it's all good, then I'll put the new psiton and cyclinder in replace all the power valve seals and repack the exhaust.

oh adn teh frame.

Sorry about the shitty pictures, my phone takes crap phots at night.

Ok so friday night at home and I decided to fix teh lawn mower..... I found that both rings were cracked (2 stroke) adn the bore has a maaaaasive score down it. looks like on of the rings got caught in the intake port and now I need a new mower. not bad really, 4 years for a 100 mower......

Anyway I think got enthused to work on my bike.

So far

Repaired teh crack with a metal epoxy (fuckign strong shit!) the loctite product was crap!!!!!

used some 1000 grit emery paper to get rid of the rough bits of teh primary gear. It only took a bit of sanding and it should stop teh crank seal gettign chewed out.

Filed teh grooves out of my clutch basket

Refitted teh engine to teh frame

refitted teh swing arm adn greased it all up.

I went to fit the radiators adn one of teh bolts snapped off juat as I was just about done (FUCKER) so I've drilled it and now I just need to get the tap adn die set from work and fix that up.

I'm going to see if this fixes teh smoke problem before I put a new piston in.

Might have it reassembled thsi weekend!!

Pics tomorrow.

LOL cheers

Adam (GTAE) just told me I have to polish my wheels and swing arm. I'll do tha After I see how it goes this weekend. I'll get a new polishing wheel for the dremel and get some autosol. I've got a pack of wire wool to scrub up the engine too.

[cheese]

put the clutch casing back on and fitted the kick starter and radiators + guards. I had to bod the guards a little bit to fit as I couldn't turn full lock without bashing them. Also tapped that screw hole on the frame.

More pics!

[cheese]

Ok trying to get my bike sorted for this weekned so it's all go!

Fitted tank and cleaned teh filter (was quite dirty)

Tapped burred out holes for front guard

cleaned out mag from sand and yucky poos adn fitted new gasket

tightened all teh engien mounts adn swing arm

fitted the foot pegs

greased the clutch cable - teh new clutch springs feel a heck of a lot tighter.

Pics tomorrow.

Oh and any tips on how to restore the shine to my expansion chanmer?


Next week after I've tested teh engien I hopefully will be

fitting a new piston and new cyclinder

repacking teh exhaust

clening teh expansion chamber - how?

maybe clean the rims........... got to get some autosol and a polishing head for my dremel.

and if all goes well I'll see about maybe a new chain and sprokets, and maybe a plastic restore kit (still debating this as it is a dirt bike and a fall off regularly!!)
