    How to use this school mill? :O

    Our teacher is only a welding instructor (and a very good one at that), but has no idea on how to use the mills/lathes around the shop :( I've been wanting to resurface some items (cylinders, blocks), with a face mill that I'd obviously have to buy. Pictures show ya ONE of the few vertical...

    Clueless - Yamaha 175cc CT-1 "No spark"

    Bought this for $105 shipped to my door (heavy as :censored:) Cylinder looks good, no scorin'.. Problem was "no spark", and ran fine before that. What's missing? I see one coil, and one coil WIRE, but it has two spaces for the spark plugs (?!)... is there a second coil? I plan on a COMPLETE...

    Basic 2 Stroke Performance Enhancements

    Understand how a 2 stroke works before looking into this guide, it isn't here to explain how a 2 stroke works. Have a good fundamental of 2 strokes before attempting any of this. Compression: Compression is a RPM killer in 2 strokes, so take that in mind. There are multiple ways of increasing...

    What machinery is used to bore out cylinders/blocks?

    I'm actually looking into this for my Camry (tapered bore), but for a few more projects as well. I've been donig a bit of research, and so far, the only results I can find are the jig borers, boring bars, and mills. Mills are supposedly accurate DEPENDING moreover on the machinist himself...

    Retarding timing on 2 strokes?

    Would 10 degrees retarded make a difference in low/mid range? Will be running a bit of N2O so I want to make room for it, but, it's not exactly a new engine with adjustable timing... flywheel and magneto :) It's a little 22.5cc scooter motor. Yeah, I know, it's slow, farty, high revving...

    Charging batteries at LOWER voltage?

    Let's say I had a type of "thing". This thing had a 48V battery pack, with a onboard generator (regenerative braking). What would happen if... say the generator put out only about 36V? What exactly would this do to the 48V pack? Obviously won't charge it fully (or at all), BUT, it has loads...

    Porting a 2 smoke?

    Theoretically, it's: Down on intake (too low = excess blowback thru carby) Up on exhaust Widen both. Correct? Anyone enlighten me on anything else? On my 36mm cylinder bore up head, I sorta widened the intake and exhaust, went just BARELY up on the exhaust (mainly polished), and for the...

    Anyone ever use trunk struts as shocks?

    Theoretically would work, high pressure, have good "bounce", fairly good travel... a tad long... but still :)
