I really enjoy this project, but I am a little worry about this noise, is not good. I really want to find any relatively easy solution, but I start to loos my illusion at this project. Well, still having some hope.
There some pics.

That's a pretty sweet looking bike, I hope you get it sorted out

Any experience with aliexpress.com?

I've never used them, but I have used Taobao several times.

katoranger · 12-31-2014, 11:29 PM

I have a used motor. Have not tried to start it yet. Still on the trailer. We may give it a try tomorrow.

papaoso · 01-21-2015, 12:35 AM

Well..I open the engine and..
The connecting rod look fine, no gaps appreciated.

papaoso · 01-21-2015, 12:37 AM

And the crankshaft looks fine too.

papaoso · 01-21-2015, 12:39 AM

No damage at piston & cylinder assembly,

papaoso · 01-21-2015, 12:41 AM

But..see the camshaft and bushing.

papaoso · 01-21-2015, 12:42 AM

The timing chain guide need be replaced.

papaoso · 01-21-2015, 12:46 AM

Well, maybe I can fix the camshaft in a machine shop, and the guide..Taobao. Tomorrow I'll remove valves and let you know people.

Weldangrind · 01-21-2015, 01:39 AM

It looks like the top end was starved for oil. Maybe the oil filter was in backwards for a while, before the previous owner caught it.

The cylinder looks a little washed out, so it would be good to hone it. If you're buying parts from Taobao, you might as well buy a new camshaft and bushing, along with a new piston and rings.

Admission valve seat massacred and loose! Valves an guides good, but need news rubber seals.

papaoso · 01-23-2015, 07:06 PM

Please, can somebody teach me how to find parts at taobao?

I need the admission valve seat, valve seals and timing chain guide.

Ill apreciate

Sure!

Use Google Chrome, and allow it to translate automatically to the language of your choice. Use simple search terms, like "ZS250GS", and take your time. When you find things you would like, save them in your bookmarks.

After you have found what you want, tell us. We will give you more guidance after that.

Have fun!

I found this, but cant target the valve seats or the timing chain guide or better the complete cylinder head assembly.
