I though you guys might be interested in how a new crate motor has held up so far this motor i bought on ebay for 900.00 was put in my 85 360X chassie for Haspin (360X motor was not finished in time) i also installed one of my new speedometers and tachometers for referances here are the results
at 60miles the stator crapped out (1 of my concerns was how the electrical would be after sitting for 17yrs.
at 100miles i decided it was time to hit some dirt roads and open it up well it would not rev higher then 8500rpms in 5th and 6th gears 1-3 it will go over the 10,000 limit on the tach 4th will hit 10,000. for the record the 350X has no rev limiter like most 4strokes and will easily rev to 11,500 the cause of all this...clutch plates after sitting so long i believe they built up a glaze on them also as a side note i went against one of my own biggest rules synthetic oil (actualy semi-synthetic) i did this for break-in purposes funny how the clutch was slipping at higher rpms.
at 200miles which just happened today the motor started stalling real easily again (this is what happened just before stator went) and i seem to have lost compression once the motor got hot. so tommorow i will do a leak down test and check the valve adjustment (something that is due anyway) and decompression cable adjustment.
i will update you guys on this again soon
