ok, so i replaced the cb for a vented 18 teeth cb, new bearings, new aluminum clutch shoes with stiff really stiff springs, started up and run another savaga tank of fuel, it did not melt the spur gear but the cb it still fills warm or a little hot, is this normal? or is not supposed to get hot at all?
when i put it together all the clutch the cb spins really good, no bearing getting stock or anything.
hey i didn't have to modify anything on my savage to make this engine fit? what are you people talking about? the only thing that will need to be change is to 4 spider gears, aluminum diff cases, heavy duty dog bones and everything else.
