cb bearing problem

[wildchild27]

ok since i recieved my vented cb and steel sg it now want to eat the bearing in the front of the cb and i have put new ones in it and it still spits them out. my question is wat is causeing this?

 

[f1n3sse]

did you put the spacer back in the goes between the inside bearing and the pilot nut

 

[frddyj]

is the cb spinning freeley?

 

[wildchild27]

ya the spacer is in it and it does spin freely.

stupid question but how are you setting your gear mesh?

 

[wildchild27]

with the paper trick.

 

[frddyj]

if its not the mesh, spacer, no binding & spinning freely, i can think of ne thing else it could be.

did you somehow end up with a batch of defective bearings maybe?

 

[wildchild27]

maybe but when i pulled the cb out of the package it didnt seem tru as in round

is youre engine straight in the aligning holes? could be a tad crooked causing binding and overheating of the bearing causing failure since it is so small. also another problem i found witht he engine plates is that it is soft aluminum and the engine bolts dig divits into the bottom of the plate so when they are tightend ur alignment will be off. try to push ur engine either all the way back or foreward against the mounting holes so it is straight and use washers under the heads of the engine mount bolts. if that doesnt help it is another problem but i would try to eliminate them first

 

[wildchild27]

my engine is straight and nothing is binding up to cause overheating

get a rrp cb if you think the one you have isn't true, but it sounds like your abit off on adjustment. If it's off just a yiny bit it could cause that to happen. I burnt a few up before.
