Well, She’s built and ready for a shake down run. Except for one set back! No Motor!
I purchased a motor from BMI. It arrived with a bad starter clutch. Starter motor runs but doesn’t engage the crank So much for their claim of testing these motors. One would think a faulty starter clutch would have been blatantly apparent had they truly given it a pre-sale test. I guess their idea of a pre test is a walk around. It appears their disclaimer of warranty over rides the statements intended to make a buyer believe these are solid motors.
So it is what it is. No big deal really but at this point a major frustration. I intend to use this motor in a bone stock form to get a baseline while testing the rest of the chassis. I hate having to do this right off from the get-go. It will be next week before I can bust into this motor!
Sitting in the seat and making put-put sounds just isn’t working for me anymore!
