Chamfered ports

[jjn56]

I started putting my top end back together tonight and reliezed the machine shop didn't chamfer the ports when they bored it. My question is can I do this myself with a dremel ?

if you are very, very, careful. i used a vargus deburring tool, and very small hand file.

i wouldnt use a dremel just in case you slip, a light file would work or just get a thick sharp scraper and take the edges off.

a saw chain file works good. dont put a dremel that close to a fresh bore

 

you dont need to take much off. just take the sharpness off.

Thanks for the replies, I started with a rounded file then went with the chainsaw f ile, it was real slow going so I bought a 249 piece dremel set at Hrbor freight for $14.00(gotta love the cheap china crap) and it had every bit you cold imagine. I was real careful and I think it turned out good, got it put together today and ran it several times and so far so good. My carbs are way out of wack now so i got tot get that lined out.

good to hear you got the ports all chamfered. what kind of carb troubles you got?

I'm leaking gas and reving real high at Idle. I measured my float and it looked fine and cleaned it out but didn't help, I'm looking into and air leak and stuck needle and/or cable adjustment next.
