OK I'm back. Engine issues

[AZdesertbashers]

I'm loving my 5t but last weekend got it pretty muddied up and hose it all off and pull start was bad so got a new one but now motor won't start and I have spark. The group I was with today says my stock 26cc motor is done as it seems to have very little compression. New pull start very easy to pull but really no back pressure. We run in dusty dirty conditions and says the dust has gotten through the stock filter and trashed the engine. Is this so? Next question what motor should I put in it now I don't need crazy fast as the 26 was fun for me but would be nice if it were a bit faster. Anyone have for sale? Thanks for any advice!!!

No compression is no good. I would pick up an zen g32.

If you take apart the engine I guarantee you'll find sand ingestion. Ive destroyed and engine with sand dust

 

[Dashz]

Yeah open it, a new ring and cylinder are very cheap

 

[Rep732]

As long as the sand didn't scorch or burn up your crank bearings I agree with a new top end kit

Hey bud ?? buy an OBR reed 34?? make sure you use an oiled filter and outerwears ??

That's what my friend told me to buy. There was one there today another guy had just got but not yet installed nice looking motor.

I will look that one up. Thanks

Zen g320 or OBR If you got some extra coin ? definitely take it apart and see what's up

Is this the one?

 

[Z.hb71]

Ye

Is this the one?

Yep ?

 

[AZdesertbashers]

Yep ?

Does it bolt right up or do I need to change anything?

I believe it will but the 5ive t guys will have to chime in

 

[DougStar]

A losi has a shorter clutch housing so you'll need one ?? if you order from ddm you can select fitment ??

so you say the pull start iwas bad and you replaced it right ? are you SURE it is engaging and you have the right one ? , you can pull the plug and stick a stick/screw driver in the hole , keep it straight and pull the starter cord slowly does it move ? if the starter works , then stick your thumb in the spark plug hole and turn it over , does your thumb get phush out by compression >? if SO then you have compression. just testing stuff

@buzzkill


No need to buy a new pullstart just take it apart and clean it. Mine did the same thing after getting dust blown through it. The dust collects in the grease and doesn't allow the starter pawl to slide and engage the flywheel. And clearly the sand ate the engine if he can't start it!

Ok tried what you said screw driver does move it comes up and thumb over hole is pushed but not very strong

 

[Rep732]

You were on the right track from the start yank the engine and start fresh

 

[AZdesertbashers]

Does it have anything to do with me hosing it off as it was running at the end of session and then hosed it off replaced pull start and nothing or just coincidence

That's what I was thinking and more cc's

Doubt that would make the engine loose compression.

Mine did the same exact thing yours did and I rinsed mine as well but cautiously ..no water tho I used a chassis wash by cow rc. But before I shut mine down I noticed a lack of performance and knew it was hurt
