I do of course seal my backplates and carb necks. And you aint telling me nothing aboutbreak in this was the toughest ever for me I had to heat it up for almost the 1st 3/4 gallon and still has mechanical pinch and it is a monster I ran it in truggy 1st and still was way powerful I had to tone it down for buggy.
Ha yeah, those 5 and 7 Port Pro motors are pretty tight alright !!
Most of mine have taken 1.5 to 2 gallons to loose their pinch.
The only tricky part about stripping and maintaining the motors is sometimes the sleeve can be hard to get out. There are several ways to get around this, just a matter of perserverence and maybe a little heat. I didnīt have a compressor when I started playing with these, I just used a drink straw to blow any debris away and clean surfaces (he he - pretty basic but it worked fine for a year or so). With only 3 major moving parts there is not too much you can get wrong
Hey, good idea - pick up an old motor and just pull it to bits and put it back together a few times, then start working on your 5 Port. You will enjoy it
Just out of interest, how did you tone down the 5 Port for your buggy - clutch bell gearing, springs, shoes, pipe ? Everyone has diffefrent ideas so itīs interesting to find these things out.
