We are a small powersports repair shop located in Burlington WI. I have almost 30 years experience in the automotive/powersports industry. I would like to share the knowledge I have acquired. Tune in for How to's, tips and repairs on powersports!
I was hoping you'd start at the actual beginning of taking it apart. I took delivery of one of these calipers and the manufacturer (or shipper) stuck a plastic spacer between the pads which is proving impossible to remove without damaging the flimsy pads. Used a needlenose, screwdriver, small punch and hammer, pick-- it will not go up, down or sideways. I then tried to make the pins retract-- not sure how to do that without damaging something else-- in short, an exercise in frustration. What a mess. You can't even easily get at the piston to retract it-- the outer pins seem to be inaccessible-- I'm no newbie-- I'm a former licensed Honda auto mechanic-- but I'm spoiled-- I'm used to things that are logically designed and user friendly. Not this ridiculous design that calls for unnecessary maneuvers. But you do get what you pay for. In this case, a headache.
And you got the solder stuck. I'm nit sure of the goal of a squish test. Measuring how much clearance the piston to spark plug has I'm just confuzzled.
It was stuck because the squish was too tight. The goal is .040". That squish measured at .030. We had to send the head out to correct it. When it was corrected, the test went smooth.
I’ll bet he was wanting to take it for a ride. I have a 1987 Suzuki LT250R Quadracer with original plastics , seat ,engine and chassis. Original owner, garage kept and still ride it occasionally. It’s been a great 4 wheeler. The dealership I bought from closed years ago and a friend that worked there got me 2 of the display ad photos from the showroom.
Excelent video! It took me some time to realize that most of grass mower idle lean (I never liked those count explotions). I understand that this is for the fulfilment of environmental regulations What motor is it?
