BlasterKX Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 last year i did a dumb dumb move and tried to run the rest of the gas out of my shee before i put it up for the year... well long story short after i ran it out on the left side it broke a rod which the rod hit the bottom of the cylinder and cracked it. anyone ever had this issue? i just wanna know if i should get it bored and resleeved.. i wanna try and save these cylinders due to the porting thats been done and they are still a farily fresh bore. i cant seem to load up pics due to them being to big Quote

You let your bowls run dry? What brand of crank? sent from yo mammy house. Quote
bigweav81 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 You could buy a new sleeve. Have it pressed in, and port matched to other cylinder. sent from yo mammy house. Quote
registered user Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 run mine out of gass all the time. sounds like you have other problems or toothpicks for rods. besides that the fuel valve is connected to both carbs so they should empty at the same time Quote
BlasterKX Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) I was ripping on it pretty good so it ran lean when it ran out of fuel. I don't have a dual fuel valve setup so I still have the t in my fuel line which the right side has about twice the amount of fuel line so it will get fuel a little longer then the short side which is the left. And as far as the crank it was a stock one. Edited November 21, 2015 by BlasterKX Quote
bigweav81 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 Post pics. Its never a good idea to run a ported set up on a stock crank without it being trued, and welded. Did you do a leakdown test before tearing it apart? Was your jetting close, and safe? sent from yo mammy house. Quote
BlasterKX Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Posted November 21, 2015 Port work was done knowing it was on a food stock bottom end. That setup lasted long long time and jetting was spot on. She's been up and going again for a long time just with stock cylinders now.. I miss my ported set lol Quote

sheerider11 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Posted November 21, 2015 I run my bike out of fuel all the time. It just dies. I've never had it run away or lean hang. Like stated, you should be checking else where. Use photo bucket or Tapatalk to upload pics. Quote
sleeper06 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 I have fusion welded areas like that before with great success, there's no guarantee it will last forever, I keep in contact with one of them and it's 3 yrs with no problems. The other two I figure no news is good news. While it's not an ideal fix its an option as long as you know the reprocutions Quote
BlasterKX Posted November 22, 2015 Author Report Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Fusion welded? Is that tig welding or something? I was told to take a carbon bit kind dig into it a lil bit and get it tig welded and then smooth it back down and it should be ok. But I wanted to know if its salvageable Edited November 22, 2015 by BlasterKX Quote
registered user Posted November 22, 2015 Report Posted November 22, 2015 fusion welding is simply using a tig torch with no filler. it melts both sides of the crack together. that method may work fine. ive also read you can use aluminum bronze filler. for that method you would V the crack. a competant welding shop should be able to fix it no problem. the problem you might have is the heat slightly distorting the bore. a hone job or boring to the next size up may or may not be necesarry Quote
