Post by Dac »

me. for running to lean and burning up a 2 month old 63cc bore kit. God im a r-tard. my moped has gotten harder and harder to start. plus its going slower and slower. with a top speed of 32mph and almost no take off i desided to take off my cylinder just incase. under the exhausts port its scored to *, along with 1/4 the piston. really deep , really bad. the rings were baked on there and one of them so thin it almost broke trying to get it off

now im back to getting a new bore kit since my stock cylinder and piston is also burned up. go right ahead and laugh

My little sister can probably care for a 2 stoke better than you!
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Just get a new piston and rings, I doubt you messed up the cylinder.

Well, It's unfortunate that your cylinder got scored up. Live and learn. What jet were you running in that thing? Did you have a pod filter as well? I was nervous about installing my bore kit until after I installed the CHT gauge. Then I researched what others were getting for readings and gauged my tuning on that as well as plug chops. You may want to pick up a gauge as well. Even after I was safely tuned I would wait in the morning until the gauge read 50 degrees celcius before I would leave and start to open it up.

Yes, it's bad to rip hard on any motor that is cold. In the case of an iron bore and aluminum piston, then piston will expand faster than the iron and you can cold sieze it in the bore even if you are jetted correctly.

Dude, make sure your oiler is working properly too. Wire that thing wide open and make sure you bleed the supply line from the tank and the injection line from the pump to the manifold.

{Hey i need any one who knows how to wire tie the oiler open to go here. thanks}

ok so i got my parts in and got them all on. it runs. its about 40-50* F here so riding is rather hard. do to the freezing factor. i think im going to break this thing in over winter.

seeing how over heating is a big thing with breaking in it makes since to do it when its cool. plus it being so cool i wont ride it long. And if the roads are slippery ill go slow any way.
Any reasons i shouldn't do this? or any tips how not to screw it up.

Well, if you don't push the motor very hard then it won't heat up much. With power comes heat. If you aren't using the power then you aren't creating the heat. However, keep in mind that since it is colder outside, the air is denser which actually makes you run leaner.

im confused at this point

Always let the motor warm up before you go. You don't have a tach I assume. Even without going hard the revs jump pretty high. This is the nature of the CVT transmission. It's always better to let the engine warm up close to operating temperature before opening the throttle up. This holds true for any piston engine be it 2 or 4 stroke. Automotive manufacturers actually limit an engines redline and power output if the coolant temperature sensor reads below a certain temperature. This is to limit the power of the engine to prevent the cylinder temps from rising too fast. They also run the engines significantly richer to during warm up as well.
