OLIVE IS DEAD
olive siezed up on me on my way to scout leader training camp on friday
i must have been too slow on the clutch as she high sided on me at 60 mph when she siezed up
well olive is home and in the garage
it is a hard seize situation ill have to tare her apart to see what is wrong
i think it might have been a crank failure but i wont know for sure till i get her apart
here are some pics of the damage
now onto the damage to me
please wear your gear you can see what happend to my ff helmet imgainge if that was my face and had hit the asphalt at 60
my jacket and pants took a beating too

Sorry to hear about this. Honestly...you look pretty good for hitting the road at that speed.
Were you running stock or modified?

i started the autopsy and im psotive it was crank failure now
i pulled the head and was able to move the bore up some till it hit the body
there are some dings in the top of the piston and in the squish band
so im thinking it will be about 600 bucks in parts to get her back running
then throw in a fender new kick start trim and rework the cowel again

Please keep us updated! Might as well change the bearings as long as your in there.

well i know its been a while sense i updated this thread but i did the first heat cycle today on the rebuild
and she screams i hit 40 in second and had throttle left
i need to run a few heat cycles and do a proper plug chop before i can reall give her
but as she sits
i scrubed and painted the case and hub satin black
installed a mazz full circle crank
dr177 bbk (enlarged transfer ports raised the exhasut port about 1mm and widend exhasut port polished the exhaust head and piston)
mathced the case to the new huge transfer ports
ggr hot reeds with cross bar cut out of reed block
24/24 carb vsx air filter and carb box matched to the carb
somonine pipe

i got sick of looking at that fubared front fender
so i got out my air grinder
and i painted the front hub
she is running good the temps staid good on the group ride yesterday but i was a bit dissapointed as olive wasnt the fastest scoot there we were joined by a bergman 400
so i had to settle for second fastest

it was good we had a fair turn out i think there was a dozen scoots
the bergman my stella another stella(sito + deblued and bj jetting) 3 rucks a buddy 125 a black cat(70 kit and prima pipe) and roughouse 2 etons(piped) and a kymco
but no one wanted to race and i couldnt hear if any one else was actauly running
i didnt take any pics forgot the good camera the guy on the bergman did have his camera with so hopefully there will be some pics posted some where
there wasnt much shifting on the ride we stuck in town just a few stop lights
