Ok guys, My brother said that he would consider putting my crankshaft in, but I have to pay him. My brother did his bbk, and my bbk, and is a good mechanic, hes just never done crankshafts on these scooters before. My local scooter shop qouted me from $150-$200 for the install, is that expensive or about the right price for this project? Money is no option or a problem, I do not mind paying 150-200 to do this, but they won't seem to answer there phone or either too busy. Alley, Millsc, I sure wish some guys like you were near me, I would pay you $$. But anyways, if my brother is going to do this, I will need to know some questions. Can this be done without taking every single thing apart? I know the motor, (jug piston, head, chain, fan, flywheel, stator, clutch, variator, etc.) has to come out. I understand one engine case must be removed but do both engine cases have to come out? Does the back wheel have to come off? Nevermind just seen a good video of what needs to come apart, and dang, thats alot of crap that has to come apart! The video of Mo on Scrappydogs isnt of good visual quality. Well just got off the phone with local scooter shop, they won't touch an aftermarket crankshaft install. Another powersports place 50 miles away qouted me $300, Dang! I'm thinking about just not doing it now....
Thanks everyone,
Randy

Get out the sockets and take it apart, its not that hard you can do it.

Right no gaskets on the spacer I used permatex red high temp gasket sealer on both sides of the spacer. Cover the spacer good, but don't block the oil passage and let it set up before you start it.

Timing was pretty good considering you were fixing to drop in another crank anyway.

yes on those spacers we also dont use the gaskets. we use silicone. we actually just built a motor and a new mechanic we had used the gaskets and when he took it out for a test run it was leaking oil. took it out and put silicone instead and worked great. dang people charge a lot in the USA. here to do that job most charge around $40.00-$60.00

Rod knock I figured, wish you was closer I'd do it for free. My guy doing my assembly said that my exhaust valve is bent, dangit! He said that he most likely has some spare valves. |
