+ 1...I use the wax lube on my chopper with chrome sprockets...My other chop has a open primary chain that I lube with 90 weight...Left leg striped in oil stains..Dedicated riding attire when I ride that machine..lol
Nev been done before...I must admit...I have rebuilt many Chevy/Mopar Harley Davidson/Honda/Yamaha engines and Jeep engines but never a small Tec engine????? How hard can it be?????I have the re-Ringkit and gasket set...Lets see how this turn out?????..lol
Thanks!!...A Lil update...Been slow going here on the mini but light at end of tunnel...I had a problem with the ring thickness fitting the piston groove but sorted that issue out then had a paint wrinkle issue on the engine then got past that....Now the carb rebuild...The float/carb was trashed and looking to upgrade shortly...Getting close to The fire up debut....
Got the carb soaking in Pine-Sol for the clean up..
Thank you! I removed the chore boy stuffing from the muffler...No real difference in sound level?..The Carb/Engine is an Emission model with zero adjustments to the carb[Air screw included} So I ordered an after market one to try? It will either start right up on second pull or it will take 10 pulls??The choke setting does not seem to make a diff.??The carb was really gummed up and by the looks of the float it looks like water froze in the bowl and crushed the float???I pulled this engine from a scrap pile.It's an early '90,s model from a go kart...lol...To be continued....
Thanks! ..Wow what a difference with the new carb...Starts on first pull and purrs like a kitten....I also repainted the muffler with 1000 degree stove paint....I popped
the rear tire with a sharp rock during testing so waiting on new 4 ply tires???...
Thanks! I had a friend cut me a vinyl sticker/stencil on a Crikut cutter machine and stuck it to the seat/masked off the rest then sprayed 2 coats of silver vinyl/ fabric upholstery paint by rust-oleum.The front plate font was the actual sticker in black.I got the Maverick font image from the web and it,s from the movie Top gun..
Well,I finally got the wings and landing gear painted and installed for a test run...It's different the way it reacts but you get used to it quickly...I hope the little guy likes it when I surprise him with it? In the meantime my Friends and I have been riding the wheels off this contraption..Lol.
How are the HF wheels holding up? Glad you got rid of the tires.
Have you tried anything else to change the sound of your muffler? I think they make some sort of fiberglass you could try. Years ago I used some in a "silencer" for my dirt bike. Didn't silence anything from the 2 stroke engine. Your muffler is big enough that it may.

Thanks..The HF wheels are fine..The rubber on the other hand?..Paper thin and a sharp piece of shale tore it up.The muffler is actually fairly quiet without the stainless packing and just the zig-zag baffle plates.About the same noise level as a hotdog muffler.
