spent all day workin on the x today.. pros/cons

[kwit]

I woke up this morning at 1130.. went to get a flywheel puller bold from a guy i know and began workin on it.. well i just got in at around 930 today....long time huh.. well i changed the crank with a few minor frustrastions... did the pistin rings.. put the cylinder and head and the top end together... after i changes every seal i could find on it.... well i got everything together as far as that..... put the engine on the bike and went to connect the wires to the spark plug try and get a spark.. couldnt do it!!!!!... there was 5 wires and i only had room for 4 and i couldnt figuer out where they go... very very frustrating.. but luckly i was to tired to get mad and break anything lol.. so ill look at that tomorrw... the only thing is......i have a washer left over and i dotn know where i came from lol.. pretty sure it was in the motor somwhere.. but not even sure... looks like a thrust washer or something... o well while see what happends.. this things got quit a bit of compression but not as much as my big red after a top end job.. hope its out.. ill do a compression check sometime...( when i brought this thing home my dad thought it was a piece of jumk.. and i edmit i had my douts.. but now i looks even beter with an engine in the frame and hopefully i wont have to take it back out lol.. well i plan on spendin any amount on having a perfect running engine.. ijust thought id save a few bucks by atleast puting it together lol ..

The 350x probably feels like it has less compression than your other trike did, because it has an automatic decommpression release. You would probably die of exhaustion if it didnt have it,(you 350x guys know what I am talking about), lol!

yea that washer .. turns out its from the kick starter but when i put it in it locked up the kick starter.. so i just left it out gfor now everything seems tight.. nothing giggles or is loose and the kicker works ok....yea i have a manual sept the wires are different colors which make that thing useless... so ill have to figuer it out.. speed20 has been givin me a few tips here and there so i should ahve this thing running maybe as soon as next week...while see tho.. i have to cut the plastic up.. the rears are a total mess and the only why i can make them usefull fot the moment it to cut them down to nothing
