Guys,
Ok, my 1986 Husky 510 4-stroke project is finally moving forward, this is the most involved project i've every taken on. See i bought this bike as $100 parts bike? in 08/08 not sure if i saw thru all the work it needed, or because i've never seen one before. Well, with a motor that had spark my project began.
Over the past year ,i found the 2 missing side cover /number plates,& air box assy, replacement front brake master cylinder, fenders & seat - to go with motor with less compression then a 125 2 stroke.
As i know nothing about 4 strokes i dropped it off at a friend's shop, in 6/09 with the knowledge that when he got some time he'd pull it apart. I already know it would need piston & rings/bore job, but never knew stock valves were so expensive.
Luck was on my side,the piston was a original bore, but the valves where burnt badly. It came down to, all new lower end bearings (for extra insurance as i planned on racing this bike), new Wiseco piston, valves, guides, valve seat grinding & complete gasket set. I'm still amazed that Halls Husky had most parts in stock, & i was able to get a new first over Piston on Ebay. In went Kibblewhite black diamondback valves instead of Husky ones, because the original were $450 vs $150.
With motor projects, it's usually better to, not be cheap, if your planning on keep whatever it is your fixing, at least that's what i tried to tell myself. As this project keep getting pushed back on the funding/priority list,6 month later, the motor rebuild is at last finished .
