Helpp my 50cc 2 stroke scooter on the start its going good like 2-3 seconds then its lose power and after that if you give whole throtle its not going fast and after 4-5 seconds its going crazy???

Hi bro, greate video! Im qlso own 2005 year dt175. I just want to ask, how engile oil level sensor work? Because the 3 cable in sensor but only one light is dashboard. By logic there should be two state if sensor has 3 cable.
Yoo, have you made a video a video on rewinding a stator? Would be intresting to learn how to do it🤝
It's on my list of video's to make.
Cool vide👌
morning
hey u can tell me were u gt the bearing
Huge rate of improvement in your castings.
Sorry one more thing. This works on every engine of every kind of fuel injected or not. If it is injected you wanna bring the hose a couple of inches before the mass airflow sensor. If you don't want to deal with cooling just add a peacock valve on the fumes line makes it for a cool on demand system where you can inject the fumes if you are going up a hill or on a patch of soft sand and that will make running smoother too but it will just feel like a comparison between a fine tuned carby and a poorly turned one... Because 2 strokes don't have a MAS sensor this will increase performance and on a system with an electronic control of mixtures it will only improve consumption and make your piston last longer
What I mentioned before about the atomization once you inject the fumes that will "improve"/extend service intervals for your carby. Anything past this point intended to increase performance from the engine in my opinion is silly and not worth touching, if you need any more power after doing that it means you need to move on to a bigger bike, maybe a DT 400
Here is a question for everyone isnt it a good thing to round the edges all around the centre portion of the exhaust port? You know how the piston gets damaged right there on the exhaust port, is this part of what porting goal by reducing friction there too?
Damn, that purple hue of the crucible is beautiful 😮

I found this fascinating, and I'll watch more of your videos. Just one thing: I started out not knowing what a 150cc 4T is. And I still don't know 🙂
@properjob Glad to here it!. 4T is a shortened way of saying 4 stroke and it will have a capacity of 150cc/ 0.15L
@@TheMotorcycleForge Gotcha, thanks.
Buy oversized used valves and mill/grind to the size required.
@jamest.5001 They are titanium and I have heard you can't even lap them in as they have a hard coating and once that's gone they need replaced.
Great to watch what you are doing.
This is pretty interesting. Good luck with the project!
@danielstewart3507 Thanks Daniel, I'll need it.
John Britten Jr. here!
@@mr2981 Very high praise, much appreciated.
Can you eplain the hot topping
@tonyhill8300 It's a product you put on the molten metal, which creates a reaction that puts heat into the risers, ensuring that they are last to cool. This helps with shrinkage.
Why are the valves so expensive?
@@tonyhill8300 Made of that lovely material Titanium 😍
Keep up the great work, Logan 😊
@pauls.2526 Will do!
Hi Nice content ,an idea from experiance make some dummy valve seats in aluminium seat angles as follows intake 30/45/67( 1.2 mm 45deg )/35 /45 /75 (1.2mm 45 deg)throat id 0.88-0.9x vod exhaust 30/45 65 (1.4 mm 45 deg) throat id 0.86 x vod or try a 2mm rad from 45 into the throat seat material trojan from columbia materials 9% better thermal properties non toxic use 0.2 mm interferance with liquid nitrojen for the final instalation.
@jamesgarrard4361 Thanks James, that's some awesome information and the details I'm after. Will add all this to my book and give it a go. Cheers Logan
@@TheMotorcycleForge Hi logan No problem I have been involved in flow testing an ice development over 30 years and have modified more engines than I care to think about bikes cars and anything with a piston, I like the look of your head especially the valve to port angle ,this kind of design requires a slightly smaller throat diameter to retain good inertial filling so don't open the throats up Too much keep the intake around 88% of the valve od on intake and not more than 86 % on the exhaust as this port angle will serve excellent flow around the entire valve diameter, if you go larger it will ruin the potential cylinder filling, the port ID on intake should somewhat depend on the engine speed at which you plan to produce max torque and hp ,as a guide intake is around 85% of valve od and 88 on exhaust if your valve size choices are on point, ther are many bits to consider like intake port surface Finnish should have a rough finish Not polished!! Exhaust can be smooth, short side radious don't go mad leening it back without trial and testing, cloverleaf chaimber with as small a volume as possible no sharp edges leading into the combustion space don't sink the valve inside the combustion space 😉 Big area = a less heat efficient head ,injectors should have excellent atomisation a mist not large droplets . Maybe a surface discharge plug aswell but they are expensive, coil on plug !! Good luck buddy 👍
@jamesgarrard4361 Awesome details, James! Yes, I'm sure my intake throat is around 88% from memory. I plan to rev this engine to 14, and ye, I'll tr to keep the combustion camber as small as possible. I was even thinking of ceramic coating the roof of the combustion chamber and exhaust ports to try to keep heat in the exhaust gasses. Yeah, I won't be polishing the intake. I'm probably going to leave around a 240-grit finish but haven't decided yet. Will have injectors later on, but the first run I plan to use a carb, so I'm not changing to many variables at once. Thank again, cheers Logan
By a cast-iron guide from a car and modify it , any engine repairer should have plenty
@bigears4014 I'll ask around. The R6 guides were actually pretty good price wise. It was the valves that will hurt the wallet
Can you just buy a whole R6 used head and steal the valves and valve guides from it?
@noahdropkin1162 One of my concerns is using second-hand parts. You don't know the history, and I have heard some bad stories with race R6's dropping valves. I think I'll just have to break open the piggy bank.
"Hot topping" is a new one on me. What did you pour there?
@thehydroblade A356 Aluminum. Yeah hot topping is good for keeping the feeders liquid till the head is solidified.
@ what material do you use for the hot topping?
@8:00 you were literally playing with fire. Please put down a bed of sand when you pour. If any stray aluminium hits that concrete, you will enjoy a free trip to the ED. I have a half sheet of plywood with a 1x4 frame that holds a bag or two of play sand-makes all the difference for your safety!
great stuff! really looking forward to seeing it running! is it not worth using some cheap standard valves for the first test runs? i have cut a lot of cheap aliexpress valves to length and welded high carbon tips with good success many times
@Noonenaught It has crossed my mind, but I'm quite hesitant using cheap Chinese parts as I have been hospitalized from them failing before. I have some used r6 valves, which I can use for mock up ect but I will be using the real thing for the running engine.
Awesome work
Sounds like a cool project. The guys over at thehomefoundry forum would enjoy it has well. Lots of casting info there. Back to catch up on the other videos.
@@QuiltingJeri Thanks man I'll let them know
You can get tap followers to make sure you're square on your hole as you tap. If you just drilled the holes on the mill it should be set up perfectly for when you tap
@@MrCreeper1O2 It has just been added to my ever growing list of engineering stuff I need 😅
Cool
Looking good
Thinking it would be a good time to establish datums, top and bottom, for repeatability of xyz, through subsequent setups. I’m looking forward to the machine work yet to come. What are you looking to use for camshaft cores, or did you pattern it after the OEM? Are you going to run the cam journals directly on the cam bores or incorporate bearing shells? On my own effort, I’m aiming to increase valve lift to .4~.45, valve diameter, with a 88% throat, as that is the point where the the “choke point” switches from the valve curtain area, to the throat. My goal being to achieve / maintain maximum port energy, rather then losing it for going the typical route of larger valves. Looks good, so far, and thanks for sharing.
@georgedreisch2662 Yes the datum points are definitely on my mind, thanks for the tip. Cam shafts will be made from scratch as well, chilled cast iron seems to be popular but thinking about using 4340 if it's possible. Straight on cam bores, not sure I'll have room for shells. Yep 88% throat is what I aimed for on the cad for the same reasons. I need to do some more research into cam profiles but I'd imagine a R6 profile would be a real decent starting point.
Great series Cant wait for each one. Can i ask which other channels you follow?
@martynclinton8092 thanks Marty, as for who I follow a few which are similar are. Two stroke stuffing, Rob Dahm, Alec Steele, This old Tony and another kiwi who does the same type of stuff. Ods and ends machining.
Really inline with me then… 2strole stuffing Rob dahm Odds and ends 👍👍
Bloody hell. Top shelf!
What a fun journey, we'll done!!
@@KevinBan1 Cheers Kevin
@@TheMotorcycleForge You are welcome to use my flowbench anytime if you want. I know you want to do everything yourself, which is super cool and definitely how I roll too. But the offer is there, and I can share a few little tricks and traps in regard to flow data and what to look for and what to ignore etc and also cam material compatibility if you want.
@KevinBan1 I will most likely take you up on that offer in the new year. I'm super busy between now and Christmas, so hopefully, I will get it machined and ready to flow soon.
Hey man, flick Omar at xcite bikes an email, he's been able to help me get yam parts at a better price than local dealership before. Tell him about your channel and the series, he might be able to help you out. Tell him WA Daniel sent you
Nice! I have a cylinder head i drew up in solid works years ago that i have always intended to do this with. Going through your vids now.... im gonna do it! Keen to see the f1 head articles you mentioned incase i can improve on the design first. Any chance tou can share a link?
Yeah man go for it, its a lot to learn but super fun. Look up F1 v10 Cylinder head in google, its the first link on a site called F1 Technical.
Have 2011 bmw f800r, how to tell if it still has the "original equipment " power reduction settings or not? Thanks
@quesreal2552 It is bike specific, so it could be either a physical restriction in the intake or exhaust. A throttle limiting stop which can be removed. Or it could be in the map settings for the tune of the bike, which is a bit harder to remove.
@@TheMotorcycleForgethanks for the information and for getting back to me. I have some research to do now, hope you have a great day
You need to apply the brakes then release, then spin the wheel. I have dragging rear brake which is only slight but enough to make the rotor very hot. just can't find what is wrong.
@340rps Have you serviced the caliper yet? Otherwise, your master cylinder may not be releasing, or your caliper may not be centered over the disk.
Nice work!
This is an inspiring channel I want to cast my own 2t crankcase, cylinders and heads, keep up the good work bro 🔥
@cristianrivera3646 Thanks Cristian, much appreciated. Go for it!, You can do anything!
I've heard the solution to some of your problems is to HEAT UP THE SAND CASTING First! Then there is not as much temperature shock between the 1,200 F Aluminum and the sand casting. i.o.w. A cold sand mold will shock cool the aluminum, causing problems.
@@GregMacDougall-m3n It was pre-heated to around 600 degrees C
In a college metal casting class, I remember being taught to put talcum powder in the mold first to make the release of the casting more ''Clean''@@TheMotorcycleForge
@GregMacDougall-m3n Yep, that's definitely a go-to for sand casting. It's not required for investment casting, though, as the investment is water soluble.
When u have the 3d print ready put it in the investment and while it still didn’t cure put it in a vacuum chamber to suck the air out Try other designs that help the air escape easier and the machine it off
Hamachi rocket 50, i like seeing shitty chinese cheap stuff made fast
Keep up the great work bro, failure is only temporary but success is forever. You got this 🫶
@@typicalcambieau-666 That's a gr8 saying, will keep that in mind. Legend!
Would it be worth simplifying the mold? Maybe casting the timing cover as a separate piece then weld it on. That way you could focus on one bit at a time and its not 'all or nothing'. Best of luck!
@GafferTapeIsSticky I never thought of trying it that way. I'll see how I go with the next castings. They will most likely be some much easier parts like, barrel, cam caps ect. Definitely thinking of ways to simplify the mold to make life easier.
