I'm guessing supd probably has ordered from taobao but how reliable is tbtrends? I hesitate using a third party company like that to buy merchandise from China. However with as helpful as zong america is ill likely be taking the plunge.

Corvairkid, thanks for finding replacement parts. Weld and Spud are right! I really appreicate it

BTW anyone who uses google chrome, it does a fantastic job converting from chineese to english. The link below seems to go to the zong shop if this helps anyone else. Just select your model on the left hand side.

Forum member Pliskin paved the way with the first order from TBTrends. I next placed an order with this Taobao agent. Since then, others have followed suit. Weldangrind has placed several orders with TBTrends. We have all had positive experiences with this Taobao agent.

Thanks for providing the link to the Zongshen group on Taobao!

If you can order all your parts directly from Zongshen you might minimize the language problems. However, check to make sure the total cost of the parts, including shipping, is not more than the total cost at TBTrends.

If you decide to order parts from China, please do start a new thread on this subject and document your experience.

I am especially interested to learn if you decided to order directly from the Zongshen group on Taobao.

Weldangrind · 05-20-2013, 01:36 PM

I've received two shipments from Taobao (via TBTrends), and the process has been very smooth. TBTrends has my trust.

The Google Chrome translator is ok, but not great. I was looking at seat covers, and they translate to foreskin. That kind of error could be most unfortunate.

SpudRider · 05-20-2013, 01:37 PM

You just "circumcised" a saddle, didn't you, Weld?

Oral chinese don't follow ANY rules learned from school.
坐 sit + 包 sack/ bag (Also means cover, so there's that

) + 皮 skin

That hadn't occurred to me; very good point. Even though I've been using email, etc. for a number of years, there's still a certain novelty to it. Not so if you're raised with it.

m0t0 · 02-08-2015, 06:58 PM

Long time no post. Several years or something like that... better yet...

A long time ago in a forum far far away!

I'm finally getting back to this project that i started so long ago. I managed to crack the case today and figured i would post some pictures. Best I can tell no piston clip in either side.

Weldangrind · 02-08-2015, 10:36 PM

I had to read this thread from the beginning to recall what we spoke about. Funny that you haven't found the clip. Maybe take the time to use a small magnet over all of the surfaces inside the case, and see if the clip appears.

I made the pics a bit bigger for you.

Weldangrind · 02-08-2015, 10:37 PM

I'd look closely between the crank counterweights. It might be hiding in there.

m0t0 · 02-20-2015, 02:48 AM

look what i found...

and here's about where i found it

Now hopefully moving on with the rebuild. This is as far as i have had something like this torn down, and i'm looking for some guidance at this point. Is there anything else i should be checking at this point? Is my next step to clean up and remove the old seal from both sides? If so with just a razor blade? Then just put everything back in and apply new seal to both sides and reseal? If so any recommendations on on a product for that? Saw somewhere something like yamabond maybe? Your thoughts and guidance are appreciated.

Thanks,
m0t0

Weldangrind · 02-23-2015, 01:07 AM

Glad you found the clip.

Which seals do you mean? The shifter and countershaft seals?

m0t0 · 02-25-2015, 01:35 AM

Thanks for the reply weld. Let me apologize in advance just in case i sound like a noob. I should have clarified. I was actually asking about the two halves of the crankcase. Are there other seals i should be worried about before i slap the two halves back together?
