Dutchy 2936 Posted May 25 While I now have to wait for my tag, was busy today safety wiring a few nuts and bolts as "vibrator" may be her 2nd name..... 150cc 50's engine, as expected I guess... Note that this is NOT up to USAF/NASA spec, but one deals with the holes presented.... Had the engine running for a wee while, rode up and down the close; then the engine started to run like shyte. Misfiring, poor throttle response.... But, better now than late at night on the Bridge between Denmark and Sweden I guess.... @keny Can you guess from this picture what caused it? The points are directly wired to the battery and it worked fine so far.. all will be revealed here.......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 2936 Posted May 27 Registration complete - CHECK Period correct plate made - CHECK Liability insurance (€36/yr) - CHECK 1st shake down run - CHECK Carter vent - FAIL All in a day's work I guess Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaxSwell 992 Posted May 27 Oh man! Those pesky Carter Vents. and It's Always Somthing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 2936 Posted May 28 Main culprit is the piston rings, causing too much pressure inside the carter.... to be continued! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchy 2936 Posted Monday at 02:59 PM Old skool racer carter vent But she's an alpha female alright, marking her territory Piston rings remain suspect, the vent smokes quite a bit. Like a 2-stroke.... 😞 VID_20200601_145006.mp4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 2936 Posted Monday at 05:34 PM The main leak atm is the oil seal behind the clutch basket. "Auto chain oiler" flings a bit.. New seal is en-route.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dutchy 2936 Posted Tuesday at 08:19 PM The book says I should have 5.9bar compression I get.... So now I know where the over-pressure in tge carter comes from.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutchy 2936 Posted 15 hours ago My bad, I measured with throttle shut. With WOT Still bad though.... This is the "Sport" engine so I should get 6.1... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
