Would like to see more about seized engines and repair different methods
@keeganhache6667 Жыл бұрын
Glad to see some more videos brother! Most of the time the reason the chrome cylinders seize is because of the carb being jetted to lean. Or dirt getting sucked through the air filter and scoring the cylinder walls. Less common ways are the piston clips and ring snags.

If your motor truly seizes up and won't turn, You can always fill it up with Marvell and let it sit for a day or two. Then drain it and it should break loose easily. Also if you get all kinds of carbon build-up you can just clean the top of the piston with some Brake clean and it will free up fairly easily. I suggest a cheap Endoscope, Lets you take out the plug and look inside without taking everything apart. Nice video Tony, Keep up the great work.

What is marvel??? My engine is seized right now, crank will not move piston neither, clutch will rotate when clutch is pulled in but piston And crank will not, I cNt get my cylinder off

@@TalariaMonster413 Marvel Mystery Oil is a deep penetrating oil that will seep past anything and help to free it up. I've used it for over 30 years and it's always been the best preventative of lockups.

@@stephenfhauk how much should I use and just pour it on top piston and just let it sit for .day ?
@stephenfhauk Жыл бұрын
@@TalariaMonster413 Just use however much you think you need, Not too much as you will half to drain it later. And yes just over the piston let it soak for a night or two, And then drain it. After just bump start it as you would normally, It should break free. If it doesn't work you may have more damage than Marvel can fix. Hope it works for you. I used Marvel when building my engine so it was freshly coated and around 1000 miles later still smooth. Good luck.

Mine seized after the first ten minutes of running while at idle. I was able to break it loose by popping the clutch while riding it downhill. No problems after it started again. Still running fine.

Hey Tony I appreciate your advice and expertise on this my cylinder is gouged a little bit on one side and I am struggling to make ends meet right now the Piston is also stuck at the bottom of cylinder is there any way I can make it work for now until I get back on my feet and going

Hi Tony. As per usual with your videos, a lot of good information. I appreciate it. Cleaning the crank case, I don't know, I could be off base here. You have that zinc coated steel pan with the bottom end scraping against that and the highly flammable spray, could the two dissimilar metals rubbing against each other, could one metal be attracting electrons from the other or in some other way cause static electricity to make a spark jump because you don't have a ground wire? You know what I'm asking because I'm not sure? Maybe rinse it on the cement or some absorb all or just on the dirt may be best. I'm just saying.

I hear you my man. And thank you for the insight. My answer would be...Sure, maybe, I dunno, I honestly wouldn’t worry about such things like that as the probability is very low to nonexistent. I mention in the video to get a cheap plastic container as that would work really well for most people.

If the piston is seized if the bore how are you supposed to get the cylinder off the case? Kind of skipped that very important bit of information.

I was riding and my bike just shut off. No weird noises or rattling just off and never fired again. I took off the cylinder and the bottom head gasket was blown. I replaced it and the bike still won't start, crank, burp, nothing. I'm stumped. It's getting fuel spark plug is good but when I pop the clutch the bike just slows down. So the motor doesn't seem seized either.. idk!
