Re: Need Help With Force Motor
What a great thread!! When I first started reading I skipped to the end first to see the latest update, then went back and read the rest. Hindsight is 20/20 and it was interesting the compression check did not come up till it did. But thats the nature of the beast when diagnosing.
The reason I post is because I was sold a lemon last year and after having several issues with it, I let it sit all year till I started working on it this spring. Long story short is that it was in need of a major rebuild. But I do not have the money, so I have been doing my best to make it work till I do. One thing is that I believe I had, at one time, the same kind of chip you did on your old block. I will try to post a picture later when I get them off my old computer, but it was repaired by someone, and I received the motor in the shape it is now.
While the chip repair does not look that great, it did not show any signs of leaking from that particular spot on the gasket. In other words, I believe the chip could be repaired, but that is my opinion.
Just thought I would share that with you, maybe you could hang on to the block if it is in good shape other than that and repair it when you get some time.
Two strokes are resilient creatures. Not too complex and not too picky to make them run decent. But to make them run tip top shape it does take some strict standards, but for them to run it is amazing what you can get away with over a 4 stroke.
