no it's not a 3 port pullstart. It's a 5 port 528x.
my local track only sells o.s. plugs so i'll just have to get them to stock something else lol.
im going to just richen up the top and start my tune over. i checked the bearings and they don't seem to be bad and they are moving freely. could they be bad and still seem to work properly?
yes on the bearings and if they aren't gritty feeling when you pose side deflection pressure and rotate the end of the crank all directions then you are probably ok .
as far as plugs , they are readily available on here if you need some
its either a 3 port or an 8 port , havent seen a 528 5 port , i see the insides of most all nova engines
the 8 port doesnt usually come in standard either , its usually a turbo engine , did you get this new ? or used ?
happy motorin',
monty
and yes i would suggest changing that pipe out , whats the engine in ? will a dynamite 007ht fit ? that is a badass pipe for .28 engines
