Moderator Airhead Posted January 6, 2009 Moderator Posted January 6, 2009 i did take the nescessary precautions when installing the kit, and got it well lubed up for the first run. the old 50cc pot is back on and running the original jet how do i force the pump stroke to its maximum? The easy way is to pull the cable up fron the engine case it will stop when the pulley is fully open, or you can pull off the pump cover and push the pulley round with you finger, either way allow the engine to tick over and hold the pulley at max position briefly, dont over do it though its just to make sure the oil is there from the off
Moderator drewpy Posted January 6, 2009 Moderator Posted January 6, 2009 and it will get the air out of the system as well
blackhat250 Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Yeh and i always tank-mix the first tank full after a re-build ... just in case theres a air lock in pump.. [i KNO IT Shudn"t if bled properly] but its for pease of mind ,,,, and nowt worse than all that work wasted wi a Seizure
wild foamy Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 new rings arrived today and now the peashooter is back on the road. lesson learnt. i put some extra oil in with the fuel to help the new rings seat in, think i may have over-done it as its now a bit smokey and bogs down a bit

wild foamy Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 oh soz, basically i broke a bit of the old piston ring and it dropped down into the engine case, i retrieved what i thought was the whole piece that fell into the engine but when i started it up with the new rings in i could hear something jingling in there. so today i took it to my dads and we stripped it down but didnt find anything in the case, so, its on the road now for sure
Moderator Airhead Posted January 11, 2009 Moderator Posted January 11, 2009 How thorough strip down then, are you saying you split the cases and removed the crank? did you put the piecce of ring you retrieved first against the piece you removed from the piston, surely this would have shown if there was any more missing?
wild foamy Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 didnt split the cases as that meant splitting the gearbox aswell and we didnt have enough time. i got a feeling the majority of the old ring is on my garage floor, but we washed the engine out with terps and gave it a blast with a 150psi airline whilst we had the engine out and hung upside down on a hoist, nothing came out. may have been my exhaust expansion chamber rattling as i forgot to put the bolt back in that holds it onto the frame. which would explain why it didnt rattle at idle because there werent enough vibrations to make it rattle against the exhaust mount
