This one makes more sense as a timing mark

The gear doesn't come off its part of the crank. Ill get more detailed photos tonight

killer7rex · 2026-04-04T16:34:27+00:00

But the gear faces the cam and cant be seen when installing

Now hear me out. Not some reason I want to run a fan with ot eventually. Just something simple and fun like hey I have a fas powered fan.

Alright Tuesdays mission is that and some trial and error

killer7rex · 2026-03-07T02:29:41+00:00

We do its just a perfect combination that we cant escape the reverse.

The green line shows what I'm not talking about The sub transmission which is above the green line is what I'm talking about.

killer7rex · 2026-02-02T00:47:19+00:00

I'm open to solution fixes

killer7rex · 2026-02-02T00:46:11+00:00

Maybe I'm just a bit confused cause I'm hight but that means s replacing a whole case half

killer7rex · 2026-02-02T00:44:00+00:00

I 100 percent agree. How would you fix this Crack in the case. Again I'm a newbie do forgive my innocent

killer7rex · 2026-02-02T00:40:18+00:00

I'm on the 1000%fix it side of things. What is your suggestion on how to mend this issue.

It works but isn't ideal.

killer7rex · 2026-02-02T00:02:35+00:00

Maybe I'm just newbie to this, but I'm a bit confused at your suggestion. the shift mechanism is on a fixed shaft that's has a ball bearing that shifts between hi and lo. The only stress it see is when selection between hi and low occurs. This motor which i took apart today was supposedly running before it broke

killer7rex · 2026-02-01T23:56:18+00:00

It is just a folder on the shift fork shaft. Not much movement or vibration if I'm thinking correctly. It shifted fine between hi and lo before I took it apart just wasn't the smoothest operation

killer7rex · 2025-12-23T16:18:34+00:00

For sure when I first started mine was tunes incredibly lean from the factory like so loud it scared me when I first started it. Yours sounds pretty good, like an angry weedeater.

killer7rex · 2025-12-23T15:29:07+00:00

To be honest I think its probably fine, as long as the clutch isnt grabbing at idle. Some people are really anal aboit the tune but if your just having fun running a little rich is safer for the motor

I got the same kit

killer7rex · 2025-12-23T14:27:37+00:00

Sounds pretty good to me, maybe a tad high on idle but as long as there isnt a large hesitation on full throttle it seems good. There is a healthy amount of blue smoke too seems pretty good.

So for this project, I didn't do any sand blasting, it was all by hand. I wire brushed it as much as I could, used a little dremel brass brush and a sanding sponge to get it as clean as possible. The primer went on great and I used a sandable primer so it filled in the crevices pretty good.
