New Non-KX Project
umberto:
Looks like I found the problem. As I kind of thought, the valve seal on the exhaust valve rusted and was not sealing. I found gas in the exhaust pipe, and rust under the valve in the head.
I got the new head and piston installed, the valves adjusted, and the cam timed. The head studs did not feel right to me when I was tightening them (before torqueing). I decided to order new ones, instead of breaking off one of the existing ones most likely in the block knowing my luck. That's all I have left, so maybe next weekend I can post a ride video. :mrgreen:
umberto:
I got all the parts in yesterday and finally reserved a bit of time in the garage to finish up the might Z50R. I'll let my good friend Ace Ventura take it from here:
I got to ride it around in driveway for a few minutes and man did that bring back memories! I have a small oil leak on the cam cover I need to address, but it's pretty minor. I'll be checking the microfiche to see if I missed an o-ring or something. Once I get that fixed I'll trick the boy into riding it around for a youtube video. I look like a hippo when I ride it. :-D
umberto:
I got the oil leak fixed, but mother nature decided to bring real winter to Oklahoma. My stunt rider doesn't work in sub 50 degree weather. :-D
I'll try to post a ride video as soon as the white stuff is gone.
umberto:
Ride videos as promised. For such a small bike, this thing has a ton of torque.

All that is left now is to install the tires and new tubes and paint the rims.
