Took good look at it. Yes, there no way for bearings to be on inside. And would say only about 1/2 Play side to side. Took bearing shells apart. Cleaned them up. Packed some grease around them. Would say they looked in good shape. All seals still in good shape.
Seems still like more play then should be.
I put on a new brake line.
Had a caliper on a recalled box that bought years ago. Don't think ever used. Still had brake pads on it, looked never used. So put that caliper on it. It did have brake fluid in it, when took off. Guessing should work like new one? Anyway to clean it out? Anything I should do to it, since just been sitting for years? Or is it, i just get what I get out of it?
Buggy, already for the trails again. Been trying to get some break in time, on Jack stands, since haven't been able to take out yet. Trail tech, says I got about 5 miles on it. Got double that, just sitting at idle. Already changed oil in it once. After get a few more gals of gas through it, will change again.
From just what can tell, runs very solid. Hits the higher rpm range very quickly. Even thou on stands, can tell the difference from old engine.
With old engine, if ran it up high, then let off the gas, would get a small back fire.
Not with this one. Runs solid, up and down the ban.
Itching to get it out. Just need this brake issue fixed.
