WOT for an hour= Blown motor
 

I guess it was bound to happen.
It was so nice out last weekend that I decided to get out & make use of the day.
I fired up the motor & let it warm up for a few minutes.
I nailed the throttle & it was running like a champ. The cool air gave it a few hundred rpm more than usual.
I was wide open for about an hour. I couldn't let up!!!
Well the whole time running at around 6000 rpm finally cought up to me.... BAM!!!!! Blown motor! Flames even shot out of the exhaust as it sputteres to a noisy end of its life....
Damn! That was a good leaf blower:p

This is the Cig that was for sale?

Probably shouldn't run any motor at WOT for an hour.

OUCH DJD glad you are taking it all in stride like ya should. It is only a toy after all :D

What is the price now :D

Jon

Who wants a dead leaf blower???

Look, my advice is to rebuild it. You can bore that cylinder out, put in a high compression piston, and next fall, you can blow the leaves into the neighbor's yard without leaving the porch.:D

DJD- ...i think it went over some heads. LOL! :D sorry to hear about your leaf blower....;)

jbk

:D :D :D :D

LMAO
It was my LEAF BLOWER!!!!!
Read the last line!!!!!!!

Guess I'm going to tear down the Briggs & Stratton tonight!

You had me. Well written Dave.

I thought the leaf blower line was just a pet name for your Cig motors.

:D :D :D

You had me goin' there for a second.
My first thought was 'why on earth would you do that?'
:D :D :D

DJD, will you take a good leaf blower in trade on the Cigarette? How about the Frankenburb? And the Z-28? How about a good lawn mower? That's along with a briefcase full-o-money.

Dave you forgot the Searagg....throw that in too!

6000 rpms for a leaf blower sounds low. Maybe it was bad gas or no/little oil in the gas. I would take it apart, it can be fixed you know.:D

You got me good :D:D

Jon

I was already to call ya stupid.... flames...cool!

Leaf blower only wot at 6k?? somethings wrong, maybe to much oil in the gas. Next year i gota do that with the boat so i have an excuse for the new vortec 350ci 395hp :)

You guys have tachs on your leaf blowers? Man, I need to upgrade mine.
:D

LOL

Good one Dave, By the way I hate those Fu%#@&* leaves!!

good one

Well, did have one on my motorized scooter with a Zenoh G23 eninge, popular in weed wackers. stock I could turn a little less than 9k, after piped, ported, 15:1 compression, case stuffer, advanced ignition, carb, filter i could turn close to 14,500 using stock internals and the original rings but ever run was calling for a rebuild afterward. It wasnt any fun... I put new rings and gaskets on it a while back, gona get a 4 transfer port cylinder, and piston with it and get that reliability back.

Does anyone want to buy a motorized scooter running 28mph at wot? completley reliable ;)

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Got me , Matie:mad: :D :D
Good one!:D

Told my engine builder the story today at lunch...He was shocked and impressed:eek: Said that must have been one HELLAVA motor to last that long at WOT. I still didn't relize it was a damned LEAF BLOWER:mad: . Wait till I tell him tomorrow:rolleyes: :D :D

I did a good 25 minute wot run back in september on the 4.3 :D

WOW!!!! Some of you (Audio) fell REALLY hard for that one!! Did it hurt?? Leave any bruises?? Geez!!!!!!!

LMAO

looks like its time for an upgrade than. . . an as any good powerboater knows . .if yer gonna upgrade . . UPGRADE DAMMIT :D :D . . i believe with alittle inginuity this Zenoah g-80 would fit right on . . 5.5 HP . . .i think you could do the entire yard from the porch . . . :D :D :cool:

DAAMMMMMM It man cant quit grinning:D :D :D :D
I had to scroll back up to regroup funny ass sh%$ Well written!!

Hey I broke two hundred this means I'ma miny post whore True?:D

You saw the 8 cyl chain saw. Do the same for leaf blower.

LMAO, I LOVE the responses. mopower, I wish I could be there to see you tell the engine builder the story tomorrow!!
Well, I took it apart this afternoon & it turned out to be a broken valve. No other damage & it will be back together tomorrow to attack thos Mother F***ing leaves.
If it were blown apart, I would have done some psyco power upgrade so I could blow the blacktop off the street.........

You are gonna have the head off, you might as well port it and shave it. Sure, it's gonna need racing fuel, but hey....

Here's what you need! :D :D :D

135,000rpms :eek:

40 Pounds of thrust! That'll move some leaves! :D

And it only weighs 2 pounds!
