rebirth of a fiddy

Trip · 04-20-2009, 05:49 PM

The goodies have been assembled, now I just need to make time to crack open the case. This will be my first major engine overhaul.

I am going to take pics like mad. Basically I blew my fiddy motor up before the last race and I have never rebuilt a motor. I am going to attempt to rebuild the fiddy motor because it's a very small motor and suppose to be really easy to work on, plus it's a cheap motor to learn on.

It should be easy enough. There isn't much to single cylinder engines. GL with the rebuild.

Well I finally decided to start in on this thing.

So I stripped the bike a month or two ago in preparation

I had a nice surprise waiting for me in the exhaust, I wonder where all that metal came from (Anyone know how to clean an exhaust pipe so I can reuse it?)

So I started in on the engine, hello there mr. inner rotor. I have no idea how to install you properly for timing when I get you off.

Hmmm, whats down this hole, looks like more metal

Wow, mr spark plug doesn't look so happy

Started pulling more stuff off

Let's remove the head cap, why hello there mr melted engine pieces

Then I removed the head and cylinder and found mr piston not doing so well on the compression part of the job.

That's all I got so far, probably will start getting into the case tomorrow.

*Ring....ring* "Good Morning, Joe's small engine repair, how can I help you?"

"Hi my name is Nick and I grenaded my pit bike's 50cc motor. I thought that I could fix it myself but $400 and 123 hours later..."

"No problem sir, just box it up and bring all the pieces in, we get this all the time!"
