    What do Green boy's have with using your heads to land on. I hope you are on the mend. The motor is looking very second hand. Back to the shed.

    ooooooo you BROKE it!

    ah well, it will get fixed somehow, perhaps a complete labotomy?

    and how is you body now anyway, that could be a bit harder to sort out

    It's done something like 7 years on the same crank and piston, and possibly ring. The plug is still good and I'll probably put it in the next one just for laughs. I've got 1 or 2 spare original cranks lying round + 1 short stroke one ready for the new Wobbly-spec motor. Spare cases as well, 1 stock and 1 modified for the RS chassis. Basically I've got 2 choices - build a similar style motor using a spare H100 barrel, if I can't save this one, or build the big horsepower(hopefully) motor. I'll probably build both. "Normal" one for the kart track and the "good" one for the GPs or if we ever go anywhere fast. The good one will take bit of sorting so I probably should make a start. I have all the bits, I just need to assemble it.

    If I get really bored(and a job to pay for it) I should drop in the the "1/2 a FZR250" I've made. It's all assembled ready to go. Just need to put it in the chassis, add turbo, fuel, and ignition.

    This chassis gives me the chance to use all these little motors I've been pissing round with for years.

    Bit of time spent checking what's left of the engine. The pictures tell the tale. The rod is actually snapped and wedged between the crank and the front of the cases. It might be worse than F5s 50 from years ago!!

    Can you fix it? I've heard that Araldite is good.

    That last picture really tells the story SP.

    That's the worst two stoke grenade I've seen, nasty!.

    "of course he can" Id use no more nails, and for the bigger gaps no more gaps is awesome.

    The every reason you should keep relying on others to build your engines, you just keep working on the wooden subframes

    I've already hammered the rod straight with a lump of concrete I found. I'm just charging the battery so I can weld it back together with jumper leads and a 20c piece. I've already made a wooden base piston and am just waiting for the ex-coke-can top cap to cool before attaching it using a combination of mashed beetles and a few pieces of powdered concrete. The bore cleaned up nicely using the boring bar I made using a whittled down bit of 3X2 and an old Stanley knife I had. I've woven a length of rope from weeds which I have wrapped the cases in. I just need the special grass-based paste in the cracks to gel up a bit before I crank the rope up with a branch off the neighbours tree to pull the cracks closed. I had nothing to hone it with but hopefuly it will be good enough to win the BOB.

    Bummer.

    Yeah that's pretty kuzed. My MB50, I saved the gearbox, clutch & ignition. All the rest went to the tip when the Yamaha bits made their bid for freedom.

    Can't see much else worth keeping.
    Is the barrel totalled? Hard to see from pics
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I don't know what a rod is made from but it is good shit. Note the 90deg twist and the 90deg bend.
