Is anyone interested in a rubber grommet that goes on the oil pump cover? The OEM part no. is not available anymore HOLDER, OIL PIPE Not Available 10V-13174-00-00 and I thought about contacting a manufacturer to reproduce them without the oil hose holes in them. I found a new one on ebay, but...

You nailed it!! I was not on the same page. I'm sending it up to kor to get rebuilt. Thank you everyone for responding. It's the same old stupid story on here--trying to save money, when it always costs more in the end. I should know this by now!!

I had bearings laying around, I've just never used a crank that close to the service limit and looking for advice from previous experiences.?

Just put new bearings in. Just debating on whether or not to use this crank or put a new one in. Used feeler gauges to measure its at .28.

has anyone reused a crank that was at the high end of the specs .28? If yes, any problems or does anyone recommend just putting in a new one. (Shaft gap)

I had this very same issue when I got my first one. Not trying to spank you here, but it takes time to learn and read about the carburetor jetting, air leak testing, plug chopping, and fuel mixture. on mine I found out the previous owner was running 50:1 mix (very very Lean), he had the...

Anyone have some old carbs with this part they would sell? Need two.

I searched to no luck for this on the forum. My bottom chain roller stud is broke off. Any suggestions or fixes? I have another frame I can cut a top one off of and weld it, but thinking there has to be something easier.

all of that is good. Update: I assumed the worst when it was something so simple and unexpected. Main jet in carb was clogged with gunk!! You wouldn't believe the knock it was causing.

Engine is knocking and losing power. Backfired a couple times when trying to start. Hard to start and will not stay running without babysitting. My suspicion is something with timing, but dunno for sure. I continually do Air leak tests. Still good!! Piston, rings and cylinder still look...

It's absolutely---positively not an airleak problem. I just checked it for a third time. I even checked the fuel by opening the valve at the tank and letting it run into a coke bottle. I cleaned the carb good and blew it out last night and reset the float level. We'll try it again today and...

I did 6 PSI for 4 minutes and pressurized it at the intake. (used one of AWK's setup) I know people say 7psi or even 8psi, but I'm a little leery for seal reasons plus the manual says 6psi for 3-5mins.

It was the carb float height. It was at 12mm. Set it back to stock 20mm. Thank you very much.

NEw Wiseco crank and piston, bored to 66.50, DG exhaust system, carb- 290 main and air screw out 1.5 turns. Fuel 32:1, new boyesen reeds. New seals all the way around and air leak tested. K&N filter. Tors and oil injection delete. PUT A CHEAP $40 adjustable STATOR ON IT FROM EBAY (set to 0)...

I did re-install the air filter box lid because we do a lot of riding in muddy mud mud and water. Maybe I should take that back off. Oops.
