X22 problems.

Thanks,

I ended up making a clip from one of those huge paper clip they make, i don't think the needle is going nowhere.

you think that might have caused the bogging down?

Now it turns out somehow my spark plug threads got messed up?

The plug went in just fine and now i try to pull it out to see if im getting spark its all screwed up and "rethreaded" and now air comes out from the spark plug from the cylinder moving causing a "airleak".

So now what should i do? buy a big bore kit (anyone have some forsale? or else where cheap?) or try to re-tap it.

Youre gonna have to remove the head and have it drilled and tapped for a helicoil or youre gonnahave to buy a new E22 or bvh head..a little anti-seize on the sparkplug threads could prevent that from happening again..................Peace

Yea i was thinking of putting some loctite on there and just never did it, eh i feel stupid.

just be careful of how much u put on there, becuz if u get sum of that stuff in ur motor.... ur screwed for life! lol

Never use loctite on spark plugs, anti seize compound is something totally different.
Your best bet is to get a replacement head, they can be had for $10-25 as the 70cc-110cc are identical. Or, you could use this time to upgrade to a race head and wild cam (around $200)

oh on this dirtbike forum they where using loctite. i know it can go up to 1800 degrees F. or that's what the guy said.

well its not used in the auto industry for plugs
anti-seize is your friend

don't they carry the special plug anti-seize at auto-zone.

picking up a X18 today.

sweetness, put sum pics up on in a thread or on here if u want to, i wanna see what kind of deal u got on it.

I'll me a build thread for the X18.

Pictures of update soon, new head should get here soon too.

Turns out,
There is one problem with this head the guy sent me, one of the sliders that goes into one of the lifter is not going in all the way, when it got here it was halfway in and wont come out or go in.

Yet another set back, AHH!

'Im pretty sure i have the timing right, i tried my best in finding that triangle CAM and no luck.

and it still will not turn over, I'm getting frustrated

Not sure what you are referring to, in the previous post you talk about lifters, there are no lifters in these heads. The cam pushes on the rocker directly, no lifters what so ever.
Take a picture of what you are having a hard time with so we can identify it properly.

my bad lifter rocker, got em mixed, i got that problem fixed anyways.

i need to find the marking for TDC on the casing for this automatic motor, CAM said there should be a triangle in the casing and i don't see it.

I cannot imagine why its hard to get the valve timing right.You might be doing it right and have another problem...Its easy to pull out connector wires on the grounds,coil and cdi and get connections wrong.Your carb may have a sticky needle now...It doesnt take long for it to happen with a stock carb with wide open vent tubes.Take a shotglass,fill it with the stuff we call gas,let it sit awhile til it evaporates and look whats left behind...same deal happens in your carb when the bike sits with gas in the tank and carb.......

Take a clear picture of your flywheel area......Ill edit it for you where your reference mark is.I dont have any pics handy since my pc blew up and most of my pictures are lost and unrecoverable.Not even through Hirems...before you took the engine apart you should of stuck the engine on TDC before disassembling it so all you had to do was line up the flywheel mark in the case and stick on the cam gear because its hard to throw the setting off in the head .....Peace
