So no word back on compression checks on several engines on eBaY, I am starting to go ahead and tear the engine down for possible rebuild. Me and...
Starting to pull the motor. Got several leads on VF500C motors but no proof of compression from any salvage yards yet. One thing I cant...
Thanks for that information, I found a VF500C engine last night with 24K miles, and they guy said he will run a compression check on it. Hoping...
Yes, I have read up on the threads for the VF500C retrofit and it looks like it will work. However I have yet to see a decent engine come up....
It smokes on giving it gas, I am screwed probably. Oh well I gave it a shot. Time to get the engine up on the bench and see what is going on.
Went out and checked the compression ( I could not wait) it went up 20 PSI for a grand total of 80 PSI. Not sure how long you need to soak the...
Ok, so before I go crazy I bought some Marvel Mystery Oil and filled the rear cylinders. I will soak through the weekend and do another...
Well..........Seafoam did not work and it looks like the engine has to come out. Compression did not improve AT ALL and I am moving on. At least...
That sounds like good advice. Really have noting lose at this point anyway. I will try this and report back.
Oh, and the rear rotor is not a Honda part from what I can tell. EbAy part that rusted. Brake does work, just have not been able to scrub off...
Yes, I found a standard set in Chiba Japan for a great price. BUT, it is an unknown what pistons I even have in the engine. Crap they could be...
Back assembled...... [ATTACH] Also started on the windscreen. Was in horrible shape after being outdoors in the sun for years. Started wet...
Weekend's work...Took a spin and she tracked straight as an arrow. No issues with the handling. That is good because you never know what these...
Yeah, I went out and started it tonight (did not get a chance to ride it this morning, work got in the way again) and it fires up instantly. It...
I have heard this but have never used the stuff. May try it as a science project if the Seafoam does not work.
LOL thanks! You have no idea the Don Quixote projects I have taken on. I have always finished them however. Totally knew this was a crap shoot...
Yep, used it before, had a Mazda RX7 and it unstuck the apex seals like a miracle. I still have some on the shelf might give it a try. My only...
So it's back together and has no gas leaks from the petcock or the test fuel line. Vacuum diaphragm is holding good on the petcock also. Fired...
Agreed, I was not thinking this would be permanent , just for testing. I want to at least run it around the block and see if the compression...
So the petcock repairs are working (For now anyway) and I installed it on the tank. Took a bit of oring changing but it does not leak. The next...
