Is it done or are you going back for more after you run it for a bit?

Hey Deets sorry for pizzing on your thread the other night. Had the flu bad and was trying to numb the bastards with brandy. But I do speak the truth on the cranks.

There is a reason anyone that runs them and wants to keep them for a long long time = pull the cranks and sends them to be trued and welded.

I didnt even know Mike had made this post here recently. But here you go.

Solo never held up. Cranks twist in them between 15 days and 6 months in almost every single one used in production falling. 7900 lasts a lot better. We had one dealer about 30 miles uses from where I used to live who had converted a lot of people to the Dolmar for the cost and reliability cutting timber.

Just comparing the 665 quad pics of yours to the pics of my stock 415 425 quad 65cc cyl. Just for folks that never seen them.

On right

Would like to know more about this crank issue as would other members I assume. What needs welded on them?

 

[Deets066]

See the area that's all scratched up and cleaned off?


Why???
