I have an issue that when I snap the throttle from idle the engine bogs down and stalls. Also when riding it'll bog down and take a while to pick up, if I progressivley open the throttle its fine. Im not to clued up with carbs is it a case of rejetting/fine tuning?
Still got the snorkel, its got a DEP exp and Big one can, TM carb upgrade (have no idea what that is but the previous owner mentioned it) carbon reeds and its derestricted.
Seized as in its fubar'd. Went out for a run on Sunday, not riding particualy hard, didnt notice the temp creep up, felt it start to nip so I pulled the clutch and coasted into a feild entrance. Thats when I saw the temp and knew what had happened, let it cool down then started it... sounded like a bag of spanners. This is the result:
Took just under an hour to strip it... found so many bodges!
One of many bodges:
Rebuilt under 1000 miles ago... umm doubt it, that head gaskets been around since god was a lad!
Doesnt look too bad tbh:
And the best bit:
Both big and little ends completely fooked, Loads of lateral and horizontal play. Full rebuild it is then
piston has some scoring but not alot, and the barrel looks pretty good.
had the engine sucked coolant in then and washed off the oil, gutted oh well easy fix mate with a few quid, this is why im building a spare engine up for justincase
Not too sure, coolant was fine. I took the engine into work as a chap I work with is rebuilding his RD350 and knows a bit about 2 strokes and he said the bore, head and piston are fine and said maybe it wasnt the engine seizing I felt but something else going wrong. Going to stick a new crank in it, re hone and rebuild the carb too. I'll be starting a project thread when I get time and some better up dates... already decided on a new colour scheme!
