"First thing I notice was the oil by the front bearing. Appears to be leakie."

THEY ALL LEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Front bearing are NOT air tight. Why do so many people believe that they are??? It's the oil and the fuel that creates a barrier causing air not to get in.

Engine running 280 degree??? Please do not tell me you just put the engine in and just ran the crap out of it without listening to it or observing the smoke.

Only stand out in this whole thread is Houston, who is offering you services for FREE. I suggest you take his offer, not many people in this industry will do that. Hats off to you, Houston, for willingly helping a newb out.

Thumbs up

Dayglo33,if you will just listen to a few of the folks(Maximo,Houston,Motogod and that's just a few) you will learn more by reading there posts and discussions with other racers than anywhere else...unless you happen to have Mario Rossi for a nieghbor!
I've shared posts with Maximo and all the Clockworks racers for a few months now and they have all been very helpful...I know,I've thanked Maximo so many times that he would probably like for me to peel my lips off his ass! But,I am thankful for the ones in the industry and on the tracks that care enough to try to keep us in the right direction...
Learn to tune....Its not easy...may be a god given gift...if you can't ,then ask someone who can and soak up everything you learn...

Dude just send him the stupid engine already. He is going to get it all squared away for FREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. Plus he knows what he is doing.

Ship it before he changes his mind.

to answer some questions.. buyer sent me some picks of the motor... NONE where with the motor disassembled.. all had every thing covered up..... carb covered. exhaust port... ok now you are thinking good motor... or like i think what is he covering up.... ok now take it easy and let me explain.. motor in pick has no clutch on it... correct?? motor that dayglo33 got had full clutch setup on it!! ok pick could be old and has been run after..motor looked like it was just pulled form a vehicle and sent.... this is what i saw!!! if you want to call me a liar then go ahead but you where not there i was...

thank you to huston for stepping up to help out another racer..... this thread will be locked now... to many things are getting off subject... jeremy
