80 is low but I would expect it to still pop with starting fluid. I agree with others that you should check the timing.

Is the red spring stiffer? If so it should prevent the clutch from shifting as soon.

As far as I know the G50B didn't come with a CDI....it has points.

Tango...Thanks!!!! That is exactly what I needed to see. I had no idea what it was supposed to look like. My cover only has the screens in place but no duct.

It looks something that would be...

Thanks George! A picture would be greatly appreciated

Stock Chaparral G50b.

Should there be any type of duct directing the air from the fan shroud toward the vent in the top of the engine cover? The end of my fan shroud is just open to the engine compartment.

There is...

Does anyone have the part number and a source for the needle and seat in a stock carb on the G50b in my SC? I forgot to check for a number and I am currently at work....I would like to order them...

Thanks again Don. I just talked to Vern at CPC and they had everything (pistons, rings, needle bearings, etc) at a very reasonable price.

I might actually be able to ride this weekend!!!!

Do any of you know the dimensions of the piston pin? I am not at home right now and can't measure them. I am also needing the size of the circlips.

I found that the bearings are 20x24x19.

I...

Does anyone have part numbers and a source for circlips, wristpins and wristpin bearings for the G50b?

I am checking with Richard Clark for pistons and rings. The ones in it say .50 on them...is...

Don your a lifesaver. If someday we ever meet in person I owe you several drinks.

I will give it a try again later today. I can read your scan fine!

Thanks
Jim

More frustration.:confused:

While trying to check the timing I found that even when the points were open the circuit was still complete. I also found that if I test between the stator plate and...

Thanks Don!!!

Thanks again.

Tango...thanks for the info. So I don't have to do anything with the mechanical advance mechanism as I set the points?

Now can I get some help in setting the points?

Do I simply spin the flywheel until the points fully open...set them for about .016 and tighten them down? Or do I also need to manipulate the...

Thanks for the help Don!!! It is greatly appreciated.

I am getting ready to replace the points and condensers so I may have more questions.

So then you would agree that I should install the small seal(30x50x8) and not worry about the second larger seal? I assume that stock it only had the smaller seal.

I know it is hard to see in the pictures but the outer surface of the little seal is metal.
