Super 8 / HELP! Seized Air Sol 70cc.
« on: December 26, 2013, 11:24:01 PM »
  I recently seized an Air Sol 70cc cylinder that had been broken in with only 600 miles on it. I've read that Air Sol's have a propensity to seize and can be not so reliable. I'm running a 110 main jet, and from looking at the plug, I was obviously running rich(maybe a bit too rich as the plug was a bit gummed up and black). I have since installed a Malossi 70 cc kit and certainly don't want this to happen again. I was running some octane boost to bring it up to around 100 octane. I had been running it wide open, but for only about 1 or 2 minutes when it began to sieze. Is 110 too big, and will rich make you seize? I have removed the snorkel and dremmeled out the air box to its rectangular size. If too rich, should I just drill a hole in the main box for more air, and since its oil injected, will more air and a larger jet mean less oil in combustion and thus cause a seize? I'm a bit dumbfounded as to why I seized while running rich and don't want to ruin my new Malossi kit.   ???

Look up rollers vs. sliders on YouTube. Greatt, self explaitory video there. I've found 1 gram HEAVIER on sliders is an equal match.

It dependse on how much you have to spend. I live in NC and still commute to work even when it's upper 20's. Gerbing makes some nice stuff. My gloves and jacket liner are both rechargeable and warm. NOT CHEAP, but you get what you pay for....

Technical | How To / Is there a gear up kit for supe8 2t?
« on: November 16, 2013, 06:51:32 PM »
I bought the Malossi one on Racing Planet but it doesn't fit, secondary gears too small. Does anyone know who makes one and where to get it for a 2013 super 8 2t? Any help here would relly be appreciated!!

Technical | How To / How to install super8 2t final drive gear?
« on: November 05, 2013, 08:47:38 AM »
Greetings all. I am new to this forum and have questions about installation instructions for a Malossi drive gear with 15/44 teeth. I have already done just about all the necessary upgrades and derestrictions to this point. I have changed to a Top Speed variator with 7.5 g weights as well as a 1500 rpm rear spring and the longer Mallosi belt to match. I have also installed an airsol 70 cc kit and dellorto 19mm carb. On the way are some carbon fiber reeds and the drive gear. I am curious if there's a thread out there about the installation of the final drive gear? Sure could use some help here. I did not order new seals. The bike only has about 200 miles on it so i'm wondering if these are needed as well? Thanks!!
