What should be new and what can be sandblasted?

[kilabeez0]

Of course this goes with my "where to get a sandblaster" topic. Anyway I found someone who sells the following and I will purchase everything that cannot be cleaned up and made to look like new. ( I know not seals, bearings, etc.) Here's a list.



"The pilot screw(fuel mixture screw) does come in the carb kit for the $24.99. Here's a list of the other items bnesides what we've already talked about that we offer for your model: spark plug, air filter, piston and ring kit, cylinder, piston rod kit, cam, cam chain, cam chain sprocket, valves, clutch discs and springs, engine gasket kit, engine oil seal kit, front and rear bearings and seals, front and rear sprocket and drive chain, wheels, repair manual. most pull starter rebuild parts, stator primary ignition coil, cdi box, gear change lever, fuel tank, headlight, head and taillight bulbs, exhaust(muffler), front and rear fenders, hand guards, six pack rack, rear cargo rack, seat cover, seat cover and foam kit, twist throttle kit, flywheel puller and wheel hubs"

BTW, after giving my 110 a thorough lookover without the plastic and wheels on I noticed my carb didn't have a pilot screw :evil: what does that mean????

Any metal surface that is exposed can be sandblasted. DO NOT BLAST ANYTING THAT IS LUBRICATED or requires a polished surface. Engine case, frame, rims, metal chain gaurds, skid plates. If its metal and you can sand it for paint, you can BLAST IT. :-D (with the exception of fuel tanks)

AVOID BLASTING PLASTIC :!: :!: :!:

Protect every part that should not be exposed, especially INT/EXH ports and seals. Take extra care to COMPLETELY seal off bearings and seals. DUCT TAPE works GREAT !!!! :-D

When approaching an area that you do not want blasted, avoid blasting directly on that area.

After blasting, blow off your parts with clean air to remove any leftover sand. Remove your tape or whatever protection you used on you critical areas so the sand falls away from that area and not INTO it. Follow with soap and water to remove any fine metal residue and dry immediately. I have found that Brake Cleaner works well in the place of soap and water, it dries fast and leaves no residue.

Sometimes blasted aluminum looks so good it only requires a Clear Coat or you can polish it to a near Chrome finish.

Good Luck :-D :-D :-D
