Hi! New on this forum, delighted to find it!
I have a Q for the really experienced 2-t engine guys:
In Bell's book on two stroke tuning, in the chapter about the bottom end of a 2-t engine, he claims that the crankshaft end float (side to side movement of a healthy crankshaft in a freshly rebuilt bottom end, new main bearings) should be 0.2-0.3 mm. Now this was written quite a few years back, and this measurement is not something our service manuals ever mention, so my uestion is how does this apply to the modern 1 cyl 2-t engine?
Any thoughts on this?
Cheers/
