I removed the flywheel and notice the key was almost flush with the shaft. I noticed on the right side of the key it looks like the crank is being worn down. Should I replace the crank or will it be fine? I don't know if I put the photo up right as it's my first attempt.

Ring gaps are in the correct position. It didn't really run, it just sputtered and shot a flame.

With the thicker head gasket I did notice not as much compression when trying to start. I know there is a compression release on the cam but I can still tell the difference. I never would have guessed the flywheel key could be the problem, I'll have to check that out next time I am off of work...

Hey sry for no replies I been busy at work. It's a gx200. I changed the broken gasket, and changed the pushrod. The timing and valve lash are both correct. I poured gas in the spark hole and got a Lil action from it. It still won't run. I also changed the head gasket its a Lil thicker. I went...

Sure does

I also had some chrome/moly pushrod installed and noticed one was slightly bent. I am using my old pair for now untill I get some more. What can cause a pushrod to bend? It's the exhaust pushrod

Yea its the gasket between the engine and the black insulator.

Well I took the motor apart, and changed the rings, and now it doesn't start. The timing is right, I believe the coil gap is right, but no start. I need help trying to figure it out without having to tear it apart again. I did notice the gasket between the head and plastic spacer is broken...

I have a 3 stage candy cane right now that's hella loud. I really want something that POPS. How is a cherrybomb made and how hard would it be to modify my header for it?

Just like the title says, I want to make my motor sound different.. More specifically make it sound something like a Harley. I know it will be difficult because of the way Harley engines are designed to produce that distinct sound. What could I make, modify to get something similar? I was also...

Tires are goin on split rims. I see no need to change rims since they are fine. It's what was on the kart before. Is it possible to not use tubes with split rims?

Ok I got ya. I found some tires but can't seem to find tubes. Can I use a 15x6-6 tube in my tires?

Yea its a 15x5.00-6nhs, It was pretty low light when I looked at them. Also what does the NHS stand for?

I currently have some 15x5.00-16NHS on the kart right now. I need to know what each of these numbers mean and a good website/store to get these tires, I don't mind if they are a little bit bigger but do not want to go smaller. I also don't want to change the rims either. I

Yea I staggered them. None of the gaps are on top of each other and none of the gaps are over the wrist pin.
