Leadfoot350 Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 my spark plug angle piece broke off a little and then the posilin piece that is around the electrode is gone. Well the piston bashed all of those parts into the 18cc dome. There is some lines on the wall of the sleeve. They are not too visable but you can feel them if you rub your finger over them (about 3). I have 64.75 pistons right now. Should I just run it and get a new dome and at the end of the season rebuild or should I take the top end off and have to get new pistons and rebore the cylinders? This is the first trip on these pistons too so it bums me out. Also do I just get the next size up 65? or do I go up two sizes instead? You can just barely feel them. I had 140 when I left and after the weekend I have 140 in the good one and now 135 in the bad one if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadfoot350 Posted November 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 what do I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDD Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Bore it out to 65 and get a new dome for that side. It's better off to repair the damage now instead of bandaid fixing it and having it cause bigger more expensive problems down the road. Last time I checked it's a pain in the ass to push a Banshee around for miles and trying to get it up and down hills. If that sounds like fun to you go for it.

Leadfoot350 Posted November 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Well all I can say is I love ebay. I got 65mm pistons for 112 and 2 16cc trinity domes for 29 bucks. Now I have to get it bored. Thinking about calling Ted at mission and see if he can squeeze me in. So leason be learned change your plugs often.

Leadfoot350 Posted November 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 I might have run them a little too lean but the bike pulled hard all the way through and never cut out. I am going to try 185 instead of 180 on the 35 2-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
