1984 IT490 Rebuild thread

[crazycart]

Im sure you can find a carb with the same bolt pattern. I'd look around for a performance cam also.

I'd like to put some performance parts into this bike but every penny I spend on my 125 I feel guilty for not fixing the 250.

 

[crazycart]

Yeah, i'd fix the 250 before you hopped up the 125. Then you'll have 2 good bikes.

 

[jr dragster T]

I'd love to fix the 250 engine. It's just so @#$%$# up.

 

[crazycart]

Anythings fixable dude. Topends are cheap for that thing

 

[crazycart]

This doesnt relate to the 490 but i got a offer to trade a 1998 CR80 dirtbike for my sunk yamaha exciter snowmobile. Hmmm...What do you guys think?

 

[jr dragster T]

Whats damaged on the sunk exciter?

 

[crazycart]

Engine runs but will need rebuild. Misc stuff broken.

You mean you dont buy used pistons?

 

[crazycart]

Bought this one As-is. Seller said it was still usable?

 

[jr dragster T]

Lol I was kidding about the used parts. I learned a good lesson with the blockzilla 3 that you should never buy used racing parts espeiclly when the owner has "No clue" how many seasons, pass's/hours are on the crankshaft. What kind of a idiot sold you that piston?

 

[crazycart]

Haha i was kidding about the piston, i knew you were kidding also.

Dropping off the piston to get the cyl. bored out tomorrow. Should be running by this weekend.

Also, anyone possible interested in a water pump? Briggs 3 horse starts first pull, cast iron Monarch pump made in Canada. Runs perfect! Have had since new...

 

[jr dragster T]

Inlet/outlet size?

 

[crazycart]

IDK, but the inlet is big and has 2 outlets...

 

[crazycart]

This things a beast for pumping water!

 

[jr dragster T]

I do need a fuel pump for my kart ^

 

[crazycart]

She's ALIVE...And **** i thought it was hard to kick before the rebuild...

 

[Kenny_McCormic]

On the hard to kick thing. How much do you weigh? I think just like some of those monster snowmobiles available, this thing was designed for people who are 300 pounds and not chubby.
