Did it run?

@powershop1903 It ran like a scalded dog.... Very fast! Make sure if you have the venturi carbs, to do a rebuild!

In your earlier video did you buy a rebuilt crank or did you just have the crank case cleaned. I am about to under take this project on my 1996 1100zxi but am concerned about the crank. Also any chance you could provide a parts list and where you got them from.

[srpope80]

@Malcocer33 I used the same crank, it was definitely good. Checked all the spec play in the bearings, etc... I used a company call Full Bore to bore the cylinders, and purchased the pistons, rings, etc, from them. I had a good experience. As far as parts, I bought Wiseco pistons from them, and they matched them to the newer spec of the bore....

Thank you for the reply,. one more thing I will like to ask before I put the engine back inn: Im going to remove the oil pump and premix the gas, I just orter a oil pump block off kit" and it comes with the 3 plugs for the carbs houses. IS ANY OTHER HOUSES I NEED TO PLUG? ANY TIPS ON THIS APLICATION? THANK YOU.

[srpope80]

@MrRikylove No, the block off kit is pretty simple. Remove oil pump, place 3 caps on the carb oil inlets, and put the block off plate where the pump used to be.

Make sure you mix correct ratio for your engine/temperature and if you're rebuilding, make sure you rebuild the carbs!!! If one leans out on you, they will kill your cylinder...

@srpope80 What is venturi carbs really?

[srpope80]

@MrRikylove No, that area is supposed to be dry. The oil pump pushes oil straight to the carbs..... I pulled my oil pump and no premix my oil with the gas.

I will like to ask: I just got my 1998 stx 900 work on, in the case were the oil pump is, loke like there is gears,is there supost to go oil? or the oil pum dump oil in there?there is no oil that go in thise engine? thank you.
