bearings tight and smooth, crank looks good

Nice size K&N filter too.

Really nice work! I see you must have welded aluminum before.

525

I think its been ringed and decarbed before, decarbed by beating the top of the piston with a screwdriver or something

didnt lose a circlip this time!!

 

[kev1n]

should allow the cylinder to radiate the heat a bit easier

Nice work on the lid and muffler, that p20 looks good!

I checked them I got .114,I think rings are going on the parts list :msp_scared:

Depending on the diameter and thickness, new rings are available with notched ends to fit around the locator pin. Brings the end gap down to .010"-.015". Or square ends you have to file.

PM me for a link.......................No, not me, selling them.

Thanks guys, i fired the P20 up today for the first time. It took about 4 pulls and it was off. The new silencer seems to work pretty good, and i am most impressed with how much grunt it has for a little saw :msp_smile:

 

[Pie.n.ear650]

Here is what i did to replace the missing starter cup on the 650.

I have no idea what the original set-up was like :msp_unsure:
but it works well.

Thanks, yes its what i do for a living, but it also really helps with the toys too

Holy crap dude, that looks awesome! You got some serious fab skills. Do you do machine work too?

I bought a nice Tig a few months back, and haven't used it much, just a little practice on alu, and some muffler mods.

 

[Pie.n.ear650]

Thanks Parrisw, yes i have 3 lathes:msp_thumbup:
I have been in engineering/fabrication/welding for 30 years, and have a collection of old race bikes too. So these things come pretty naturally
Good luck with the tig, just keep practicing.

Nice size K&N filter too.

Well that certainly solves the crappy plastic cover issue

Are making copies for sale, probably would have a few takers...:hmm3grin2orange:

This is what the starter cup on a 650 would look like,

Checking in

Hey guys, I popped in to say hi, I haven't been on the site for awhile as I've been busy on another project. I thought I'd share:

You guessed it... Pioneer yellow. I'm going to mock it up tomorrow with the heads. It's an all-forged LS 383 stroker engine which will be going into my truck soon... along with my chromed blower. Anyways, that's what I've been up to while hibernating from a miserable winter. I hope to get out cutting some wood soon.

That's a beautiful looking engine, love the color. Your going to have to show us a video when finished, with burning rubber included.:msp_smile:

 

[Arrowhead]

That looks FANTASTIC! Probably the first small block Chevy Pioneer Yellow. We will need more pics as you go along.

Cool! I have only 1 Lathe:msp_thumbup: poor me. I've built, fixed, fabed up lots of things, but your skills are beyond mine that's for sure, but 30years of time certainly helps, heck I'm only 34.

Just welded up a broken alu case on my butterfly ratchet today. Not as pretty as your welds, but it works.
