What mix do you run?

[hoosierlogger]

I run 40:1 in everything I own. I put over 250 gallons thru my chainsaws every year had never had a problem with it. My alt 50 runs good on it too.

Been a while but finally getting back to working on it. I've hit a wall and have no idea how I didn't see it in the first place. The left end of the axle is stripped and someone had the bright idea to weld the tire hub to it.

I had put all new seals and bearings in the rear end put it back together before I saw it. Does anyone have a good axle for sale? I've looked on ebay but they seem a little steep. Any help would be appreciated.

Getting it back together, Painted the frame, rebuilt rear end, reeds, painted forks, jug and piston. Tires are on their way. I went with the Kenda Scorpion for the front and Wanda V-tread for the rear (Link below. Thoughts??). Should look interesting. Now I just need to get the seat redone and paint the rims.

I was thinking about getting them for my zinger. You'll have to let me know how you like them. Only problem I can see is they might not slide as well as I'd like them too

[dlmeyer0325]

Will do! I figured that they would be good to rip through the norm. I'll be at trikefest so ill put it through its paces and report.

They will be smaller than stock, both height and width. Not sure if that matters to you all, just a fact to consider.

[dlmeyer0325]

Right I know they will be smaller than stock. I searched everywhere and could find 15" tires. It had Kendas on it before and they seemed to fit fine

[dlmeyer0325]

Tires are in, Ill try to get them mounted up in a couple days

[dlmeyer0325]

Got the tires mounted, what do you think? Yamaboss they have a pretty good edge but I don't think they will have any problem sliding. Showing a little more rim as expected.

[DohcBikes]

Might experience some de-beading in a hard slide but other than that they are round and black!

Doesn't really matter what we think, what do you think?!

Good to see a long term project making progress. Good work.

Spent a frustrating night getting ready for trikefest. Finishing up the zinger and finally got to the point of starting it up and going through the break in. The darn thing fired right up and I was pumped. Then i started to hear a ticking in the top end. I switched it from start to run and the **** thing took off and nearly drug me across the garage! insight on this would help. I tried it again with the back raised and sure enough it was still ticking and louder than normal. After taking the head off and doing the process over again, I took the jug off too and found this. The is a scrape on the piston and it looks like the fire is getting past the rings in one spot. The is also wear on one of the holes in the jug.



Prior to all of this, I used a little oil to lube up the piston and worked the motor fairly well to get the oil all through out it. Main question is, do you thing the jug and piston are shot. If they are then I have learned my lesson with buy cheap and will invest in a wiseco. It's very frustrating when I've sunk a chunk of $ into this and have this happen especially after spending hours on the plastics and they turned out well. I cant seem to find the rubbing compound for the finish that I had read about in another thread.


Hopefully it'll make it down to trikefest next year
