Hey man I love your work and also want to do this but I don’t have a boring machine. Is there any way I can send you a pair of cylinders so that you can do this?
@@EricksonMachinePerformancewell, maybe you can help me out. The cylinders all show 92.xx mm. Most are 92.87mm but some measurements read 92.98 and so on. They’re all within that range. So my question is how do I read the thousandths place? I don’t know how to read it. Thanks
@93Tillinfini There are engines we built 20 years ago with the same jb weld in them 😉 it all comes down to surface prep. When done correctly, there aren't issues. Also I have seen jb weld go thru engines when NOT done correctly. It's not the end of the world. Normal, it just burns up. Actually I have never seen an engine get hurt from ingesting jb weld. All aftermarket powervalve 10mm stroker engines are basically held together with jd weld or Dvecon ) Dasa , Et, Tpe , ect. Epoxy has been used in race engines for over 30 years. Its a normal practice. Thanks for watching
Hello sir, could you tell me something about fixed bearing position and free bearing positions? I work with big windturbines and in these gearboxes and generators, the bearings always have a free bearing position and a fixed bearing position to allow axial movement because of expansion due to heat. But on smaller engines like 50cc two strokes i can hardly find any information about this. Do you happen to know anything about this? Kind regards!
@resipsaloquitur13 nope. First. Our machines coolant is never nasty. If it was the machine would be cleaned and the coolant would be replaced. It's from manually machining without coolant that gets my hands jacked up 😉
Unrelated but your the person to ask! 1996 seadoo 787 rebuilt engine has run great 2 seasons. Only issue is the starter often struggles to turn the motor over and the compression is high on this rebuild. Should be 155 but is actually 175. It always starts but it requires wiggling the the flywheel to get it to turn. Starter (OEM) and wiring/battery are all 100% could this be the compression being higher? Is it worth removing the jug in an attempt to hope I can find a THICKER gasket the raise the squish and lower compression? I carry a rope to wrap around the flywheel to help start it and its just plain annoying!
Made in america... and we can never get ahold of them. Wax may have them made in China but for one they're in Aus. Competing with China on your doorstep is gonna be next to impossible. And if FP won't keep up with the demand, then I can't see how we can criticise someone for coming up with a solution that nobody else has.
@HolyGoatsOfSteel factory pipe has kept up for the last 2 years! Also the Wax pipe is CRAP! The Manifolds suck and the head pipes are JUNK!. Lastly they make LESS POWER! They are trash. Wax Racing just COPIES other people's designs. They sells a lesser product for the same $ it's China 💩 Just being honest.
@HolyGoatsOfSteel here is the honest truth. There are many ways to make the B pipe better. If he redesigned the pipe and improved it, I would have never made a comment. But that would take skill and effort. The changes he made were to make them LESS $ to manufacture. They cause overheating issues with engines that MAKE POWER. AND the cheap aluminum strips and comes apart. And when a customer complain, he blocks them. Thanks for commenting
@@EricksonMachinePerformance You can't go and buy a brand new FP today. But you can go and buy a Wax pipe, and people are doing it. The demand is there. Unfortunately that's the beloved free market at work. If the supply doesn't match the demand, somebody will make it work. Plus TNT had a hand in designing the head pipe and manifold so it's not exactly an uninformed design.
You should do a 2 stroke re ring video. For when people get low compression but pistons and cylinders are still good. Show the process on how to hone the cylinder and etc . I really love your videos and you make me want to work on my zxi 900 and slt 750. I been working on 2 strokes for around 15 years as a hobby and im always willing to learn more cause ive only did a top end on a kx 80 and a rm 125 before
@Scottg1014 re ringing doesn't make a big difference on iron bores If you have a plated cylinder re ringing can help. On iron bore it's normally the bore that's the issue On iron bores, you lose compression from damage or wear of the bore. So putting new rings won't be a permanent fix. +50 years ago when they used cast rings they wore out quickly. Now with the alloy rings it's really not the same
Hey man I have 750 big pin I’m rebuilding it has cdk2 twin carbs on when I do the carburetor rebuild as shown in video would I then have to adjust any mixture screws when I install it back on the engine?
@fuesselfc both the low and high screws adjust fuel Turning the screw in ( clockwise) makes it leaner. Turning it out (counter Clockwise) makes it richer
@@EricksonMachinePerformancethanks for quick response. I’ve only dealt with seadoo mikunis where high speed is always zero. When do I know when to adjust high or low?
My FSWii Kwik way I have had new since 1976 , Has bore many , many 2 cycles and 4 stroke Cylinders , lately I have bought Beam Eguipment cutter , work great . , still use it every week .
That is a horrible demonstration. Why did you cut the harness so close to the box. If something goes wrong with that plug, you're SOL. Then why did you so much die Grease on one side of the pins. You smear a small amount on a clean surface Let's say a lid to something. Then you put the other rubber grummet over the connectors. And down a couple of inches nu dip the connectors Or one connector at a time on what you applied down on the clean surface. So just a tip of the metal Faster receives the die electric grease. And why did you smear Dialectric grease Over the entire rubber seal between where the 2 plugs connect. Why did you do this. You just created a short between all the of Metal male And female connectors. You can apply non contact dial. Ectric grease for waterproofing None dielectric grease. You also have to be careful on whatever grease or sealand It does not get hot and flow.
@patgray9361 read other comments. This has been answered already . This is setup for wet saltwater environment. It's all done for a reason. And the leads are kept short for a reason thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day
@patgray9361 in freestyle jetskis and racing jetskis saltwater is a big issue. Keeping plugs sealed on jetskis is really difficult. They are known for sinking so extra effort is done. This method works. Assembling these plugs dry will lead to more issues in that try of environment. Thanks again for you kind comments. Best of luck.
Another tip, if you need to remove that bearing race, and for what ever reason those holes are not there, you can lay a mig weld bead on the bearing race. Once cooled it will shrink and fall right out.
@halmcdonald1725 it depends on what you're looking to do. Both work great. We sleeve ALOT OF ENGINES. That van norman 777s4 can cut .120-.16" per cut if you want. When machining 2 stroke cylinders the Van Norman machines handle the interrupted cut better. The Kwikway cant make as large a pass and the abuse wears them out faster. The Fn does have alot of nice features and if you just want to bore .01-.05" it's a great bar. It really depends on the type of work you do. There is no such thing as the best bar. It's what fits your work best. I own both a Kwikway Fn. And a Van Norman 777s4. We use them both. Also, at this point, I have been boring cylinders for 25 years so I have 2.5 decades of experience.
I have sleeved thousands and thousands of blocks and I can get done with a sleeve or just boring in a flash compared to the Van Norman . I’ve got two 944s and a 777 idling and I’ve worn it two FN’s and on my third and final FN 🇺🇸🙂 thanks for the reply
@halmcdonald1725 I have also sleeved thousands of blocks. I also own 4 bars. I have a 944s a 777s4 and fws2 and an Fn. All are great bars and all have pluses and minuses. And you have a 777s or a 777s4? They are very different bars. I'm also in the US and have rebuilt several hundred boring bars over the years. I'll agree to disagree. Both bars are great. I use both daily. Thanks for commenting
Perfect! Looking for little increases to tie together for performance. Does this increase volume and velocity. Trying to piece the puzzle together. Building a Tohatsu M50D outboard.
I guess yo teat you would need same temp so probably just no heating because a similar heated setup seems complicated but same hardware in and out of the ultrasonic to see the difference i know ultrasonic works but so does heat and i kinda assume the plastic is kinda thick for the ultrasonic to make much of a difference but just a guess
