Corbs10 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 just replace both mate easy in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trooper Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Adolf & Corbs - in an ideal world i would replace both at the same time, but as long as it still runs i aint bothered. Carl - We have been having some issues with the engine, thats the second head its done... But MMR done us a favor so we have a 26cc one on the way to stick on it.

carlcurtis83 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I doubt it would affect balance at all, he doesn't race so I can't see it handling any different to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stumungous Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Can't be bad. I'd do yourself a favour and invest in a billet carb block, that plastic one is a ruined days bashing just waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trooper Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I tend to replace things as they go mate, will see what happens - this rebuild is getting pritty expensive as is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Trooper Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Back end cleaned... granted not as well as the front end but this is starting to get depressing Photos to follow tomorrow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trooper Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) Well, finished the rebuild and replaced a few parts i broke at NEB last sunday. GH Front Shock tower support things ( ) Also done a slight mod of my Yamadude linkage - added a few extra collets to make the brakes more responcive, yet to test it but the theory is sound. I added some RPM arms to the front left but forgot to take a photo - aw well This what i broke at NEB - Front tower supports x 2, drive shaft x 2, front arm x 1, spark plug (which got binned), and a rear shock shaft. This is how it stands now (still missing 1 drive shaft) and i am yet to clean the wheels and tyres.

Sphinx Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 The exhaust rubber is gonna melt ? Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Trooper Posted September 18, 2010 Author Share Posted September 18, 2010 Shouldnt do mate, its silicone and what Ian at MMR told me he uses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 yeah silicone hoses still melt at high temps, and the heat that the exhaust gives off is hot. I have seen the quad layer silicone holes melt like butter on potatoes. Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
