Chopcraft Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ok I got this bike from my parents neighbor who was just going to haul the thing to the dump. Anyway, the only thing I could salvage was the engine. I do need new clutch plates, cam chain, and pistons. Oh and there is another piece that is on the left side of the engine that was completely off, but I have no idea what it is. Looks like a timing mechanism or thats what was left of it. My question is does any one have any info on how to fully rebuild one of these engines. I was going to make a bobber out of it (I hope that is not beeing sacreligous.) I cant figure out if the spark plugs still connect to the ignition cores or do they hook somewhere else. I really just need someone to put me in the right direction. All comments are welcome even the negative ones. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatley I can't remember what the site was called. If I find it I will post. Drewpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
