bigdaddy69 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 Tonight I tore the shee apart. Getting ready for the new cylinders from FAST. I got the first piston off no problem, then came the second one. I grabbed the circlip and got it out, but then all i heard was ding ding.....the circlip was no longer in my needle nose. Its now in the bottom of the cases resting against the crank. but dont worry hopefully this is were the magnet will come in handy. Hopefully i get that bastard outta there and dont have to split the cases to get it out. Quote

Bigkahun74 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 i did that once couldn't get it out and didn't want to pull the motor, so i filled them with fuel and then stood the shee up on it front end and it came right out with no problem. but now i always stuff shop rags in there Quote

Definitely! Amongst other things such as piece of gaskets, dirt, debris, etc. Whenever I have anything exposed like an open cylinder, cases, carbs, I always stuff rags in there to keep it safe! Quote
