yamaha porting book

[bcredneck]

i was told you can do the math and scale these plans down to work on a different motor but im not shure it would work

[HuffieVA]

lol read the book before you say what it is not :-p

Read the thread before you jump to conclusions, I said that this book is model specific, and what "piston port" meant in the context of the book title... It is a good book for its application, but it is not an overall porting guide, yes it mentions it, it also tells you how to remove the master link on your chain... so it is a basic do it yourself repair manual that touches on a lot but doesn't give any overly in depth information... as for being "close to what Yamaha says" on your 175 I'd be happy to scan the related pages in that book for you but again, its not what "Yamaha" says its what "Clymer" says.... if you want to begin to read an in depth explanation of porting and how it works, try something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Two-stroke-Tun.../dp/0912656417

I'm not sitting here claiming to be an expert, but I can tell you that "Bob Vila's guide to porting and polishing" (i.e. the Clymer Manual) is not the answer to everything...

Now I'll let you kid argue amongst yourselves, and remember your premix, "after a top of the line porting job" he didn't realize it was a smoker? and his mechanic didn't tell him?

Good luck with your Dremels

Look Kid, what you need to do is read the back cover of the book and compare it to what you said in your first post in this thread...
Furthermore since you want to be technical, your supposed "Porting Bible" covers piston ported Yamaha 2 strokes from 68 thru 76, Yamaha didn't sell there first Tri-Moto until 1980 which was a 125 they later had a 175 (both not in your book and a different design of intake system) Yamaha didn't have a 250 trike until 85 some nine years after your "How To" book stops, I'm not saying you don't have a good reference book, just that it is not what you think it is... Yes it has a brief explanation of porting but it is not any type of definitive guide that covers every Yamaha two stroke ever built, the basic theory is the same but the application is different... Look I know you intended to provide some good info, and you did, but you were just a little off in your explanation of what it was... I didn't jump all over you but simply tried to explain what you actually had, you went off on a tangent, You can continue to argue if you wish but that will never change the actual contents of the book will it?

You really are thick headed aren't you man...

Here is an explanation for you...

http://ezinearticles.com/?Two-Stroke...tion&id=395744

As far as the existence of reeds go, read your book a little bit more and you will notice that the earlier models that it covers are reedless and true piston port induction, they went from that to a combo and finally to true reed induction later (this is why your book stops at at 1976), that is a repair book, and if you would have actually read my post I didnt call your info useless just specific to the engines the book covers, those particular engines were never put into trikes as Yamaha didn't introduce the Tri-Moto until four years later in 1980, and it was not above 200cc's (another reference to the specific engines your book covers)

I'm sorry you cant comprehend what I was trying to tell you, but apparently its not going to click until you screw up a valuable cylinder thinking in your mind that your some kind of reincarnation of Klemm Research, rather than a kid that simply misunderstood the title of a book thinking that it was a masters guide to high performance two stroke porting...

It appears from some of your spelling that there may be a connection to what you actually read and what it actually means

So I ask you these simple questions:

Are the early engines in your book reedless?
Does your book give directions on how to repair the engines it was written about?
Do the diagrams showing porting represent a particular model of engine?

If you answered yes to these questions you agree with me, if you answered no, well then your lying to yourself at this point so if your done making a fool out of yourself, stop it because you have already done a heck of a good job.

"i figered some of you guys would like to port your own motor but are scared of messing up your motor so i borrow this book i will be getting more and better pics later tonight but this is basicly whats in it"

Sounds like you were gonna show the world how to port to me?.?.

"contrary to what VAhuffie said page 161 to 163 are non motor specific most info on thease pages can be helpfull to most 2 strokes please"

Hey BC your right the description of how a basic two stroke functions and what theories are used to increase power are indeed not exactly model specific...
I Wholeheartedly apologize...

"nice enough to make this book avalible online as you wont find it anywhere else ive checked"

Ya didn't check too hard, there are almost 40 copies on eBay right now...

Hey sorry I broke your heart by not agreeing with your original statements about this "Tell all Book" and by the way, this never would have gotten out of hand had you not followed up with your smart ass comments, so go ahead and edit your previous comments a little more, or we could just drop it, as it sounds like you finally understand what the book is, now your confused about how to cover up the fact that you were a little off in the beginning...

I'm all for sharing info and constructive criticism, but when you make a questionable statement, and try to mold it around an answer after you realize you were wrong in the first place I've got little use for ya, anyway, buck up lil camper chances are you've got a bright future, its just doubtful it'll be in high performance two strokes... unless of course you update your reference library
