It is a 2 stroke. It wasn't that hard to work on. The hardest part was getting it out of the woods and back home.

 

yeah id order the new head asap... i wouldnt really trust the new filed plug hole. unprobable, but if the plug sits any lower or higher or different in the new hole it wont be firing right and would cause it to run hot or cold. that might be why its running hot but probably not. if i were you i just wouldnt run it until you get that new head. today was a great day for riding until it started raining at around 6. too bad i didnt get a chance to ride because i was fixing my bike (yes, a bicycle) all day

 

yea i think hes getting a used head to replace it. dont feel too bad its been raining and cold up here as well and the trails are still closed.

 

Yeah, I bought a new head off EBay. It was not worth the risk to me. I don't want it to die in the woods again!!

07Wolvey450: It rained over there? It was nice and sunny here all day. A few clouds now, but not a drop of rain. It was a nice day for once. Next weekend in looking great!

 

yeah we got a little bit of rain, just a few drops here and there, not enough to much to stop you from riding or anything, but we had a few clouds and drizzle at 6 ish

 

Yes, while reading your posts about removing the head, etc., my thoughts were about my experience with 4-strokes and valve trains, and how it was nice that you didn't have to deal with cam chains, cam shafts, valve timing, etc. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I got ya. It's a fun engine to learn on.

 

the good thing about the 2 strokes are their so much easier to work on and deal with.

 

more maintenance though... it doesnt really matter for me, they all even out. i just didnt get a 2 stroke because of the annoying noises they make, lol
