Been Around the Block
He said he was going through the engine after he confirmed it did not run. I then provided a step by step post to rebuild. I suggested all this after the fact he said it did not run. How did I miss it? Crank seals are included.bradj said:Im just kinda shocked you missed the most important step in starting a vintage 2 stroke but still managed a free plug
He would obviously discovered this doing a leak down. He had not at that point told us where he was going with the project, he may have intended to ride it as is, which at the very least, a leak down to see if seals where bad. It's obvious a 41 year old bike will have seals that at least partially leak, it's 41 old rubber.
You seem hung up on my DCC comment and think I am partners somehow with EC since I spent "so" much money with him. At least that's what I am taking away from it and you are a bit abrasive, I've seen quite a few of your post. Do you not care for people who spend money to do things right, instead of taking shortcuts? I mean it's just money, you can't take it with you.
I've been unemployed for 7 months, luckily I finished the bike before, when I made decent money. I now get a whopping $275 a week from the state. Forgive me for elaborating, I just get the vibe you have an issue with how much I spent, I built it myself, I had the extra cash to do a nice build. I did not pay anyone to build it for me. It's blood sweat and tears.
