This is for a local guy who has a VW powered trike.
Here are the plugs: http://texasvolksbus.org/plugs/
I haven't bothered to pull the heads yet. The motor is completely
seized. Big wrench with my big ass on it doing a gentle bounce and not
even a twitch. I dumped some MMO in the plug holes and still nothing in
either direction.
As the plugs show, he was running it lean. He said it ran good then it
lost power and he got somebody to help him re-time it and adjust the
carburetor and it ran good again for a while. So, I suspect they were
running with advanced timing, burned a valve or two, advanced the
timing some more to get the power back, then burned a hole in #1 piston
or completely destroyed the exhaust valve.
When they couldn't get it to start again he left it sit for about 18
months.
So, I am looking for a good price on, in the following order
All dual port doghouse. Remember, this is pushing a trike, plain 1600
is plenty of power.
A *NEW* build of a turnkey motor minus the generator and tin
A known good motor with reasonably low hours since built new
A fresh rebuilt with no core and some sort of warranty.
A clean known good motor.
We are in 77656, if you reply please let me know your zip so I can
guesstimate shipping/pick up costs.
Thanks,
