Hi everyone

I just pick up to Skies on the cheap on is apart motor turns over just need to be put back to getter. One was left out side and they left the plug in it and it filled up with water and it looks like that water go in the crank case and is locked up. So my question would be should I take it apart or they some oil and get it turning agian.. I am sure I am going to have a lot of questions on these thing. They Both are 97 770.


Thanks Will

take the top plate off from the head and look at the cyl walls and pistons and see if you have any rust in there. let us know

I am sure it does the plugs are rusted

How does the timing work on these thing. I am used to pull rod and and noise cone ing. I work on Harley I was reading thur the manual it look like an easy job to rebuild one of these thing but how is it timed.

[jaydandzach]

well you want to know how much of rust you have. you can have very little rust that you can just hone the cyl with out boring it

 

[harleydoc]

So I guess I need to take it all apart and not mess with trying to free it up

 

[jaydandzach]

640 to 1000 there really is no timing. all you have to do is make sure the key is on the crank then put the flywheel and line up the slot to the key and thats your timing really nothing to it

That is what I was thinking But you know how thinking is sometimes. LOL I cant wait to get working on these beast. I have alot of spare part this guy thur in with the deal he was over working on them. One of the Skies has a rebuilt motor I just have to finsh installing everything. Then fix the locked up on. The guys was going to keep them tilll he found out the one was locked up from sitting over the winter.

So I guess your are the Man when it comes to the Tiger Sharks. So what kinds of price for parts will I be looking at to rebuild this motor.

 

[jaydandzach]

lol do you really wanna know? did you look at my tigershark website yet. it has alot of good info and free manuals

 

[harleydoc]

I want to say for what I see for a piston set is was like 100 bicks

 

[jaydandzach]

ya i paid 370 for my piston kit for my 900. ebay is your best friend for tigersharks

 

[harleydoc]

I found a whole topend kit with pistin and clynder for like 430 and a complete rebuit motor for 750,

 

[jaydandzach]

thats really cheap cuz a sbt motor goes for 1000 and up plus you have to send your core motor.

 

[harleydoc]

That is at SBT in Clearwater FL

 

[jaydandzach]

so what you going to do with your 770 motor?

 

[harleydoc]

I dont know I may rebuild it or get one from SBT I am going to get the one with a good motor running the get in to the other one.

 

[harleydoc]

Well I got one of the Skies running today now I need to find a nozzle or the daytona with trim.

Well I thought I had one of them running I got it to fire last night today I got everything hooked up to do a wet run and it would not start pulld the plugs out and water was pumping in to the top end the from what I can tell the head gasket was shot on it now is there anyother place water can get in to the motor from I ran the water with the head off but could not see any other place it could come from.
