if I sand any more, I will have to repaint either way. The gelcoat is nearly gone. I sanded even with 800 in a small area because I was desperate. It didn't even do anything. It looks just like it did before I started. I'll try again though....................

sanding did nothing. Looks like I'm going to have to either cover it, or repaint.

Has anybody experienced this before? I will try wetsanding, although im not sure it will work. Rubbing compound did absolutely NOTHING.

I was trying to remove the stock decals off my 99 sxi pro last, and yeah, I guess the color bled into the clearcoat somehow by using the graphic erasure thingy. Looks like I messed up a mint paint job. Dont do this!! any suggestions? im pretty positive it wont come out. I have tried goo gone...

Is that a serious question? Maybe its just because I live in the midwest.... but EVERY gas station carries E-85 now...

I heard an interesting argument the other day. I now understand the importance of truing the crank, but some swear welding is not needed... what do you all think?

Sweet project. I think its time to invest in a shop stand though(or make one)... haha

Pull the flywheel cover and check if there are any teeth that are damaged? if not, make sure the starter is bolted in tight. I used to run into problems after getting big air, the starter would shift a bit, then act funny when it didn't line up perfectly.

maybe you're right, but it has pads on the rear of the hood.

fox, I gotta disagree.... I paused that vid several times, I'm pretty sure its a 650.

naw THIS is the coolest thing ive ever seen done on a 650... Right at about 2:15 in either of these YouTube - Jammer Racing Trilogy YouTube - The Early Years to Today!

home depot has it

interesting what group K says about mixing the two (big pin and small pin)... maybe its not such a good idea? scroll down to "big pin" http://www.groupk.com/k750.htm

I will get it all inspected professionally, but I am fairly sure that this engine has less than a few tanks run through it, and woman owned. the bearings look immaculate. I will get them all checked out during the rebuild. Thanks for the help!

ok, so I just pulled one of the biggest "duh" moments in my life.... Yeah the crank is good, but it now has one 'half rod'... now.... does anyone put rods on? or do I have to pay for a full rebuild?

what does it take to drop down 800 cylinders onto a big pin crank?

Here's what I have... I have a 750 big pin, it threw a rod. As best as I can tell from looking/feeling, the crank is still good. The top crank case is also unharmed, and all mating surfaces good. The bottom tabs on one of the cylinders were messed up, but again, only the cylinders. One...

so are the sx and sxi pro elecs the same?

forgive me if I missed it then, but if I have both 750sx electrics, and 750sxipro electrics, which is the better to use for a small pin engine? edit: and by "better" I mean what are the pros/cons of each.

the red one is up for sale?
