Pretty sure once you have it idling it'll be finished as soon as the last parts arrive from Ebay. should totally make it run.

Such a healthy sounding little engine on this thing!

Attempted to "show him how its done" on the road hit a low manhole during a spin and it dumped me off and popped tyre off the rim. Balls! tyres all good but haven't been able to get sleeve back on. Hes able to ride it again though so still happy.

My ex fell down stairs so im dad again...... pretty sure thats acceptable to everyone? Anyway my boy can finally have a bash on this decided to let him loose on grass first to get used to it as it spins rather aggressively on hard surfaces and can get a bit of pace on. Hes rolled it twice buttoning off into a spin but jumped straight back on again and given it berries straight away. Fortunately you just plop of next to it when it digs so don't get beat up.

Im so out of shit to build with! All my scrap has been chopped up more than once....hence that gross brake caliper bracket ive got some new stuff on the way to finish this off but for now its fully functional and a hoot to ride. If only i had my kids to try it out.

Pulled the centrifugal clutch off and removed 5 turns of spring out the clutch pack and lubricated the bushings as its always dragged a bit. Also cleaned up the engine shaft as i had to turn it down due to it been an odd size originally and think it had a slight lump in it. Now it revs up about an extra 500 rpm and can keep the wheels going after a spin way better! Screams its tits off, and will also sit still and idle. Pic of installed axle too.

Pretty sure every time i roll out a new project house prices drop.

Some neighbours are a fan some not so much. To be fair i could hear their music over the engine the entire time and waited till at least 2 lawnmowers were running. The engine has a massive muffler i made so its actually pretty quiet. Cant wait for lock down to end.

Figured out how to stuff these tyres into the sleeves using a ratchet strap to squish them down, then some soapy water on both sides the slipped in really snug.

Took this for a blat around back lawn today. Seat pretty good, Ported heads holy shit extra good!! Kill switch.... died. gotta whip both leads off to stop it and its dead wiring at coils which means engine off. Oh as a side note since doing heads its about 3 times as loud, i think this might be a problem as great as it sounds i cant sneak out on it like this it sounds so gnarley spits flames and sounds like a drag bike.

I bunged a seat on it and buzzed around back lawn on it for an hour brakes work well it still gets up and boogies and can pull a donut with me on not bad for a 5 horse. ...........drift sleeves tomorrow i think.

Took 6 hours to fix this but its alive again. The big wave rotor on the brakes ended up been way to big so i bought a smaller one and a new carrier got choppy with the dildo saw. Second attempt at a Kimjon spec "sprotar" this time it worked i slipped tube into the new carrier and drive the 2 halves of axle in with a 8 pound sledge then welded it. This process took ages as i had the same 5mm runout again but i knew everything was driven in straight. I ended up finding the longer side was bent at the carrier i cut it bent it and welded it boom no runout! Yus.

Rough as fuck found a chair id chopped legs of ages ago for some tube for something random.... Anyway made a very rough but actually not horrible to sit on squab has a bit of foam padding.

Discovered as much fun as standing up is when the front wheel comes up you want to sit your ass down real fast, Only problem is you had a choice of the SU carby or the exhaust to sit on so i started scratching my head and remembered i still have factory airbox. Typical honda its so over engineered you can drop a bomb on it........ or a 90kg human. TLDR ? I threw the guts out few nips with grinder and it now fits and doesn't interfere with the carbs return springs, surprisingly makes a good seat. Will add some foam and a vinyl cover job done

Lay it out on the floor in an imaginary motorbike shape it'll come to you rather quick.

You'll have this ready for cert by end of this lockdown. Good shit!

Did pointless shit this morning..... got up at 5am so i don't end up sleep fucked when i start my new job on 14th. Hopefully can use this as lunch bar transport. Headlights for no real reason other than i had soldering iron plugged in and got carried away. Oh and fixed the dodgy deck that sat jacked up for ages after i welded bracket in wrong place a year ago. If i bung indicators and a tail light on and sneeze a bit im sure i can get this registered.

Did the valve lash adjustment set gaps on plugs got it all spot on. They were tight infact probably holding valves open slightly on rear cylinder, As expected its spot on now absolutely sings crisp and happy, i mowed the lawn with it today in lieu of a blat up road. I really want to throw a grumpy cam in it.....

Way of the future man. Just a pity the driveline adds up so quickly when you use these engines If i had a lathe I'd chuck a front wheel drive gearbox on it..... or a harley gearbox.

As a bonus bores look mint and have no lip no slop in pistons. Certainly sounds way happier really thumpy out the exhaust and snappy on the throttle. Still think it could benefit from electronic ignition as the rear cylinder seems to die off at a low idle it comes in and out probably a slightly sad coil. For now I'll just run a higher idle. Any geniuses know how i can make a coil on plug conversion?

Boom it runs! Took all the sharp edges out of inlet as well but overall these heads were mint! Lapping in valves took some work but did eventually come up really good. Started first pop normally takes some cranking. The part thats been attacked with the angry end was a hard edge that extended out really choking the exhaust. Once i had that opened up and smoothed out the rest of the port was actually pretty good, i opened up the port at the flange to match the exhaust and called it done.

Heads all stripped down stoked to find inlet is factory CNC ported (fuck yes) exhaust is a bit shit though, I'll tidy that up do a valve grind and put back together. Found the valve seats clearly weren't sealing well obviously has been left sitting for years and got some surface rust.

Well cant leave the house so why not rebuild and port heads on this. Its always had just enough compression to make some power but knew there was more in it.

@KimjonIm not sure if a cvt is neccessary or would actually live on this size engine they are heinously expensive! I was looking for one to fit the 1 1/8" inch shaft just the driver was nz$650 and had to come from states. A snow mobile type is more affordable and can take the power but are physically Hoooouge and need (driven side is like 10 inch) modifying to run on a lower revving non 2 stroke. For that cost i can fit 2x 18hp rated clutches and hopefully load engine up and build boost once it spools up its gonna be a party for sure!

Does a bit doesn't it? Where it is puts motor mount in center of chassis with the weight of the turbo etc it all feels pretty balanced. Still got to fit a belt drive in there, going to run a 1-1 timing belt to a jackshaft and a normal centrifugal clutch off that. Prefer the idea of getting whipped with a belt then gnawed at by a chain when something inevitably breaks. My other twin seems to lengthen chain then throw them, im sure this will do it as well hopefully a belt will smooth it out a bit.
