Re: Dropping valves
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. |

Re: Dropping valves
You're right but I'd never let her know that

Re: Dropping valves
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.

Re: Dropping valves
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.
