Good call.

Done.

Isaac,

Let me know what you find regarding any different engines that fit. Like my wife says, I enjoy the "tinkering" as much if not more than the riding so any new project I can come up with makes me smile.

Your wife is a very smart woman, Kemosabe.

Goose51683 · 07-12-2013, 03:13 PM

You're right but I'd never let her know that

Goose51683 · 07-14-2013, 03:52 PM

Anyone know a way to disassembly the valves without the special tool?

Wish I could say that about mine.

I'm not touching that comment! Ha!

Also, I figured out a way to remove the valves and reinstall them, unfortunately I didn't figure that our until after I had lost one of the half moons. Now I have to wait till Tuesday for the one bike shop in town to open up and hope they have one.

This might be a good time for you to tackle a How-To and let your knowledge benefit future generations of GZ riders

Eh, you just get a large sliding jaw C-Clamp (jaws at least 4") from a tool or hardware store and clamp between the valve face and the valve retainer at the back end, leaving enough room to use a combo of a magnet and a pin or tiny screwdriver to pull out the half-moon keepers. You have to jiggle it a little to get them free.
