boblog Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Wow, what exactly happened and how are the ribs? Quote
Ross Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Ribs are fine now that i have a rib protector although bottom of my back is sore as the chicane was out near the bus shelter so the hump were like take off ramps at the braking point. It was going round that corner the engine suddenly died and would not start again then took the cam belt cover off and their it was The annoying bit is i have a new cam belt i just didn't have time to put it on yesterday Ross Quote
Pilot Pete Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Hugely unlucky ross! Is the biland an interferance engine? Can you just stick a new belt on and away you go? Quote
Ross Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Silly lad but did it give you the buzz? Yes it was hugely fun and rewarding to drive Quote
Eddy Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 friend of mine puts duck tape apound the bottem of cam belt cover to seal it, cause they are bad for getting chippins in which blows the belt Quote
Ross Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Hugely unlucky ross! Is the biland an interferance engine? Can you just stick a new belt on and away you go? I have the receipt from Saxon motorsport from when the last time the cam belt snapped and i can tell you it doesn't read very good . The other problem is that it is a sealed engine so other then looking down the exhaust port to see if the valve are bent i will have to break the seal which makes the kart ineligible for races . So it looks as though it will have to go to Saxon motorsport regardless. Ross Quote
JeffC Posted March 8, 2009 Author Posted March 8, 2009 Eddy stick me £620 bid on the prokart can you.. I fear it selling for £380 Quote
boblog Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Ross, just spoken to Pete, he said you can do the engine yourself as you are not MSA racing and if it needs parts they are not exspensive, just shout if you need any help. Quote
Pilot Pete Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Eddy stick me £620 bid on the prokart can you.. I fear it selling for £380 It wont go for that! Ross, can you not stick your new belt on and turn it over to see what happens? Quote
