So far i have repaired 3 pieces of metal on my $25 ebay bandit motor. It looks like the motor took a earth sattering dive on the left side.
1. It cracked part of the engine case off around some of the starter cover bolts, which i have fill welded drilled and taped.
2. It broke off an exhaust bolt, welded and retaped.
3. The starter gear on the flywheel was cracked. Since the gears were rustedish I just pulled my 600 kat stuff over.
put it all together and missed one piece... the idle dowel.... is cracked
4. now i need help because i think this is going to be the bullet for this motor. AHHHH this ones tough and I need advise. Today after i got my 120 dollar tool cause i expressed shipped it , I got to inspecting the gears. The starter has been CLACKING really loud and I figured it was the rusted clutch binding up however i was wrong. The impact was so great it busted the dowel holder on the idle gear.
So what do I do? do i call it defeat? I don't know how to fix a push in fitting like this.... (taping and treading is easy) this needs to be within extremely tight limits so....
advise?
I took the idle gear out and the bike HAULS!!! even with the bandit 600 carbs it runs! It's pretty lean because is backfires a lot when i get off the gas...
SO
would you completely fill weld this then drill it our or compress the crack and try to stick it? The metal is still there. Could you weld the dowel in place?
the tiny lines are where you can see the cracks but all the metals there
