wait what the heck am I thinking oil in a 2 smoke is only in the tranny, dang 4 stroke mentality

i know what it is!!! i thought it looked familuar.... look at the bottom pic. the area between the 2 bearings look familuar? it was a left over casting peice that was not removed from the factory. seen this a few times. i totally forgot till i saw that image. take the peice and i bet you it drops pretty much right into that spot.

your lucky cause most of the ones that had it were damaged during the process and needed new bottom ends as it shattered gears and busted cases to peics. not fixable..

Thats probably DYKEM or blue ink.

Is it magnetic? Did you check the shift forks and all kickstart parts?

It came from something........

well atleast its shiney lol

that would make me freak out!

**falloutboy** · 03-11-2011, 03:32 AM

oscarmeyer, your answer seems to make the most sense but I just can't find any fresh breakage in there...

**oscarmayer** · 03-16-2011, 11:12 PM

Did u ever find anything else out?

**falloutboy** · 03-17-2011, 04:06 AM

Nope, I went through it twice on my own and had two people look at it with me at separate times at couldn't find anything. I got the motor put back together last weekend and almost have the install done.. Probably be starting it tomorrow

**oscarmayer** · 03-17-2011, 10:04 AM

ok. t was an alloy type part right? if so it was probebly from where i told you about which was that spot as a casting peice that was left in my accient and fell out later. you got really licky!!! hey change the oil pump out just to be safe.

**falloutboy** · 03-18-2011, 04:01 AM

I talked to Jason Hall and he said it doesn't seem like honda would have that poor of quality control.

As for the oil pump, I'm pretty sure these engines don't have one. its just a splash type system...

**oscarmayer** · 03-18-2011, 08:23 AM

lol, it has an oil pump trust me. how else do you get oil all the way into the head? even the 70-125 lay down motors have a oil pump.

whom ever you talkd to is not totally accurate, no matter how good control someone has it's still human error. friday built bikes are just that. Friday build bikes...

my thinking exactly. the only oil pumps in a two stroke i know of are for the oil injection system where you don't have to mix the fuel which I would never rely on...

Anyway, I finished putting this thing back together last night and took it out today and it performed excellently.

put it back together and check every part you put in it dont matter where it came from if nothing is broke
