Yessir-exactly what we wanted to see. So what had ya thinking it may have been too long? Difficult to rotate the motor beyond TDC (top dead center)? Like it was being limited from doing so, mechanically?
Maybe so good sir and a clack like the plug was hitting the head but it could be the roto start I'm using but now i know the plug is good so I'm not even gonna trip when i get it fired up i rec it and post it shes meanYessir-exactly what we wanted to see.

Nows shes good to go the only other way the head can go with the slot being open for air like it should beAppreciate that guess I'm gonna have to disassemble it and turn it i think this engine has been broke in and thats it or maybe they did a repinch idk but ill fix that issue now tho
Tenfo. How many shims were in there? Likely still has metal pinch is all. Just wanna verify that it’s got enough clearance as someone was obviously in there before you with the head being sideways on the motor. I don’t see any witness marks on the button from the piston, but ya wanna be sure.Maybe so good sir and a clack like the plug was hitting the head but it could be the roto start I'm using but now i know the plug is good so I'm not even gonna trip when i get it fired up i rec it and post it shes mean
There were no copper shims in between the block or the headTenfo. How many shims were in there? Likely still has metal pinch is all.

Do i need to havw 1 there cuz obviously the person before me i bought the lot from didnt know I'm guess cuz some do and some dont nee to force engines i like them but there are going out of business and i didnt pay but 100 for 2 26 force and this 28 forceThere were no copper shims in between the block or the head
Oh man…. yessir-you definitely need at LEAST one in there to keep it sealed up if nothing else. Are you absolutely positive that there isn’t a single aluminum shim simply stuck to the button? They blend right into the machined surface like you wouldn’t believe..Do i need to havw 1 there cuz obviously the person before me i bought the lot from didnt know I'm guess cuz some do and some dont nee to force engines i like them but there are going out of business and i didnt pay but 100 for 2 26 force and this 28 force

Nothing came off or fell off when i pulled the head and buttonOh man…. yessir-you definitely need at LEAST one in there to keep it sealed up if nothing else.

YIKES. Yeah-you wanna get some. You’re gonna need to check your piston-to-head button clearance as well, in order to determine the correct stack height. You happen to have any 0.8-1.1mm solder on hand?Nothing came off or fell off when i pulled the head and button

I dont but i do have 1 shim ring for a 26 i had to trash so I'm gonna throw that lYIKES. Yeah-you wanna get some. You’re gonna need to check your piston-to-head button clearance as well, in order to determine the correct stack height. You happen to have any 0.8-1.1mm solder on hand?![]()
So i took the head off and there is 1 shim on itYIKES. Yeah-you wanna get some. You’re gonna need to check your piston-to-head button clearance as well, in order to determine the correct stack height. You happen to have any 0.8-1.1mm solder on hand?![]()
Oh WHEW… If it’s aluminum, it’s likely a .15 at a minimum, but more likely a .2-which would put you in better shape for 25% fuel and a hot plug.So i took the head off and there is 1 shim on it
So it was copper or brass colored and just 1Oh WHEW… If it’s aluminum, it’s likely a .15 at a minimum, but more likely a .2-which would put you in better shape for 25% fuel and a hot plug.
Damn. They’re typically the thin ones.. Like 0.1mm.. you have a caliper handy?So it was copper or brass colored and just 1
Between block and button headSo it was copper or brass colored and just 1
Ya i didnt even think about that it dounds like its running pretty good tho I'm trying to figure out how to post the video i took earlier but ill check it tomorrow for sureDamn. They’re typically the thin ones.. Like 0.1mm.. you have a caliper handy?
You’ll have to upload to YT and then embed the link here.Between block and button head
