Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What components are included in this kit?
A: This complete kit includes: a premium Hot Rods Crankshaft, a Vertex Piston Kit (Standard Compression Piston, Rings, Pin, and Clips), a Complete Engine Gasket Kit (covering top and bottom end), an Oil Seal Kit, a Main Bearing and Seal Kit, a Water Pump Rebuild Kit, a complete Transmission Bearing Kit (including transmission bearings, output shaft collar, and sprocket lock washer), a Countershaft/Seal Kit, and a robust Wrist Pin Bearing.
Q: Do I need to re-jet my carburetor after installing this kit?
A: Since this kit utilizes a standard compression piston and stock-stroke crankshaft, your factory jetting specs should work perfectly assuming no air leaks are present. However, always inspect your spark plug color after break-in to ensure your air-fuel mixture is optimal for Central Florida's ambient humidity and temperature.
Expert Pro-Tip: When assembling the bottom end, never use a hammer to force the crankcases back together. Use a dedicated crankcase puller/installer tool to smoothly draw the new Hot Rods crankshaft into the bearings. Don't forget to generously coat the main bearings, wrist pin bearing, and piston skirts with a high-quality 2-stroke assembly oil to prevent dry-start wear during your initial start-up cycle.
