Cheers Shaft, I found that company a while ago, but the tank isn't in as good condition as I remember, so I may just repaint the whole thing. Colour suggestions are welcome.
Anyway I attempted to start it today, starter motor turns it over very well, very good spark, getting fuel... but no start.
I'm assuming it has no compression, but my tester doesn't have an adapter small enough so will have to see if the shop has one or wait for one to be delivered before I can do anything.
I can't think of any other reason for the no start, it doesn't even try to catch, just spins on the starter. Plugs come out wet and bogs down if you open the throttle. ____________________ Current Bikes:Honda 929RR Fireblade, Honda CD200 Benly (Project), Stomp Z2 140

Awww.

https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130809_152723_zps8444a04a.jpg
So probably explains the no start, I think what I may have done was accidentally put the donor engines pistons and rings in the old engine (valve clearances and timing spot on BTW).
Anyway onwards and upwards, lets do it all again (sorry for the blurriness, think I got oil on the lens):
Rockers out:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130809_162551_zps9f4c5db8.jpg
Camshaft out:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130809_163732_zps346a8a3f.jpg
Thought I would be able to get the studs out and not have to drop the engine, but they weren't budging, so engine out:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130809_165250_zps05fd2618.jpg
Head off:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130809_175627_zps21c1f829.jpg
Pistons out:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130809_180456_zps98b80185.jpg
Now seeing as the pistons look fine and the original engine was running fine I was just going to get new rings, but I cant find anything anywhere also all the piston kits have just got 2 compression rings where as the OEM pistons have 2 compression rings and an oil scraper, see below:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130809_180449_zps3d1ebf92.jpg
If anyone can link me to where I can buy replacements I will be grateful, Wemoto only have the copy 2 ring pistons and DS has nothing.

More progress.
Valve springs back in:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130818_111309_zps1d3c4177.jpg
Cylinders honed, the camera doesn't really show it very well, but it came out nice, a good 45° cross hatch.

https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130818_114307_zpsc90da247.jpg
Pistons etc back in, huge pain in the ass without a second set of hands.
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130818_130226_zps8d373c9a.jpg
Head on and cams in. Having the chain run down the middle makes it very awkward setting the timing.
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130818_141333_zps1ff3dbf5.jpg
Rockers on and valve clearances set:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130818_142444_zps8e883c98.jpg
Engine back in the frame, also a huge pain in the ass without a second set of hands:
https://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m637/Biles/20130818_152556_zpsa007a0c5.jpg
And then it came to start it....and nothing.
Spent a few batteries worth of electricity trying to diagnose, it would start for a few seconds on carb cleaner, so I stripped the carbs down.
Turned out to be a stuck float, so sorted that and stuck the carb back on the bike.
Bodged on the Fireblades battery using cable ties and had another go.

Still need to play about with the carb a bit, but at least it runs now. ____________________ Current Bikes:Honda 929RR Fireblade, Honda CD200 Benly (Project), Stomp Z2 140

Haven't looked through this thread before, and saw the date of the first post and was hoping to read a project from start to finish.
But then I realised I have been in your garage recently, and there are many bits in many boxes ____________________ Current bike: ZX6R J1

Glad I didn't see this thread when it first started - I'd be disappoint.
Looking good though.. only 3-4 more years and she'll be ready ____________________ Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. |
