Goat Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 @datlow Jack it up with a floor jack, and biff some old sockets/wood in the suspension between the "shock" and the suspension pivot. So it can't slam itself out again. True story. Easy to access by just removing guard and inner guard. Only a couple of bolts. Have done this before. Along time ago mind you. Its pretty michael mouse, but it works, and doesnt rely on any hydraulics integrity. Can do something similar in the arse end. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.craw4d Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 @Kimjon Have you tried this on any of your chinese 49cc 2smokes? Opened up the intake with a drill and scraper. Did it to the go kart yesterday but can't test it as I've run out of 2t fuel. Was in a hurry and poured the rest into the tank without the fuel line attached. Bugger.

datlow Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 @Goat Wife’s buying/inheriting it so that it stays in the family head was pulled cause the spark plug thread was stuffed, looks to have been helicoiled (not sure why they didn’t do it in place) never reassembled so will have a proper look once I figure out how to get it from the naki to kapiti might end up needing a whole motor yet cheers for all the info 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a goped, I once drilled out the main bore to the next size up right through the carb, manifold and cylinder head. It was quiet successful, but that style of carburetor has high and low adjustments for fuel mix ratios...so they are easy to tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut a plastic water bottle or similar so you can jam it down next to the filter, then stab a hole in it and let it drain into the bottle I'm late to the party here. But fuck yeah those dumb aussies really made an IHC job of the remote oil filter on the sbm in the rhd cars. Hurp Durp. Let's mount the fucking thing facing down at arms reach at the back of the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.H. Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 The engine I'm putting in my Land Rover is from a truck so is 24v. Would it be better to change the Land Rover to 24v or change the starter and alternator to a 12v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllTorque Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Is there anything else on the engine that need power or is it all mechanical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.H. Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 100% mechanical, Land Has no electronics but would need a 12v for radio, gauges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hey guys. Surface Rust removal on a flywheel. Basically I have a flywheel thats been kicking around out side for a little bit, and I wanna remove the rust off it before I machine it. What would people's suggestions be? Looking for a solution I can soak it in. Coke has been one thought, but worried as I remember seeing videos in my youth of coke desolving nails etc. Or do I try vinegar, ? Or some other type of cleaner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy, you just need baking soda from paknsave or something, a bucket big enough for the flywheel, another bit of metal to make more rusty and a battery charger.

Yowzer Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Diddy used citric acid IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Had thought about lemon juice. But buying straight citric acid sounds much more feasible. Will try find some tomorrow at Moore Wilson I guess. Then need to find a tub big enough to fit the flywheel in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carsnz123 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Phosphorus acid works bloody well and I think is cheaper and a hell of a lot more powerful than citric acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
