That right just got her running again tonight
Now to recap. It blew up on me in july but didnt know why. i bought the 450 because i was ticked. took it apart and the lower connecting rod bearing was complety gone. luckly my completely built head was ok but will have to take it apart to just look things over. anyways, We had the stock engine from my brothers 1995 warrior laying around (has been sitting for roughly 5 years) that needed some work and just looked at. actually took the whole bottom end apart at college and found out all this engine needed was bored out and a new piston. i had to steal some small piece from my egine but got it bored out and stuck in a piston and gasket kit and put it together...
well today got it put in and actually put on the stock carb and now the edelbock is just chilling out in storage. this engine is completely stock and i even took my oil cooler off and am not going to run it with this engine. so pretty much engine wise, its all stock with only an intake and exhaust for engine performance.
I pulled the choke out and it fired to life instantly! hardly made even one revolution and it fired right up. rode it around and need to get some main jets for the carb but its ridable the way it is.
I plan on fixing my orginal engine someday (when im done with college) since the head is built and is fine and i mostly just need a crankshaft and piston for it and a ton of small odd parts to make it running again and someday it will be put back in.
it is mostly going to be my woods machine. i rode the 450 and warrior back to back and man what a difference! i can definatly tell the 450 has twice the horsepower but thats ok. the warrior felt heavy but its actually a lot more comfortable to ride. i told ya i wasnt going to give up on the old warrior, but for now just has stock engine it her. well i better end this, thats a lot of reading lol
