oldies1955 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Update on Quadzimoto....Pretty much have it all torn down.Brakes, suspension, and wiring are good.Minor fix up stuff in those areas.Lube,new bolts....ect.Will clean the gas tank out with acid. Its not too bad. Gotta find a cap for it.Motor....going to put a fresh top end on it. IE: Punch it out .10 over, piston, rings...New valves and guides. Cam and rockers all mic'ed out good.Found a broken spring in the lower end but all in all, no wear on the gears and the clutches are still well within limits. No metal in the sump or oil.The goober that had it before stripped the drain plug out...so I have to get that fixed. Along with half the threads missing in the plug hole. Some people!!! Its called anti sieze.Getting to the point of buying some parts and building up. I do have one mystery part that I cannot figure out were it goes.Little piston with an o ring on it. It may not even be for this motor...donno.Cant fing it in the book anyway. It was in the pile of parts that I got.Might have to go to a dealer and ask them...."whats this thing?"Went out on Fri. and got a little picker and some fines...not much but it was fun.Kind of toasty though.Tom H.

My racing days are over. I dont know about the salt lakes.We dont have any in Arizona.It would be difficult to drag a coil in Arizona. Too many rocks, bushes and cactus.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
