Marks (now solo) M1100 (mis) adventures!

Connector seam, and where the wires enter.

So a thing happened today:

Parts went ONTO the bike!The process of rebuilding has begun!

Charlie98 stopped by (Dennis to us local folk) and he dropped off his less used rear shock (installed) and his cush drives. Many thanks Dennis! And I have to give a nod of the head to buddy Jason who came by and helped me get the engine and swingarm into place.

I would be up shit creek without everyone here, so many thanks to all of you guys too!

I can keep reassembling lots of things but I'm really going to come to a standstill when I get to the throttle bodies because of that damned cam. Valtermoto was a no go and they didn't offer any advice. That is really my project this week; see what I can find. Waiting for the throttle cam-fairy to drop one off didn't work. 

Have a good week boys!

Not the best alternative, but it's one way out.

Will the cam off of any other model work?

Buy that ebay throttle body, ask the seller to only ship the cam (save on shipping). Then have it replicated by a 3D company and sell copies on ebay

He's only asking $3.95 to ship the whole TB.

[Mhanis]

I asked the seller to take a clear picture of the cam on the TB he is selling; thanks Painter!

Not knowing much about 3D printing: could I take my cracked cam to a place and have them replicate it without the cracks? I don't know how they create the working files for the printer.

After typing that I decided I'll see if I can find/call a printer that is local.

Stand by.

They use a cad program to design it, then a 'slicer' program to slice it into layers for printing.

Might be cheaper to buy the TB from Max.

Check out Tinkercad.com and draw it yourself for free. Its a bit tricky getting all the shapes together, but you can create anything you want with a bit of patient.

If you dont know anyone with a 3d printer, anyone with that service will slice it for you and print it, in more or less any material you want.

After you drawed it you could, as someone else said, make a profit by selling the file. Did you search online for an existing cad-file of that piece?

[Mhanis]

Well boys, not a lot has happened here this week. I have approached a local 3D printer about replicating the throttle cable cam; I'll report back when I get some information. Hopefully early this week.

I am at a bit of a stopping point because of the cable cam; there really isn't a reason to install the throttle bodies until I get that resolved/replaced. As a side note, Painter, I never got a response from Maxsalvage when I requested an image of the cam on the TB he is selling. Anyway, I know you guys know this, but installing the TB's is going to be a PITA! What is the best method: trying to get both to snap into place at the same time or doing one then the other?

So figuring I was at a stopping point there I decided I'd move onto something else. I went to install the crankcase breather tube(?) and it wouldn't fit, then I noticed this, here is a pic of it from the old engine:

Straight up and down.

Now the new one:

Whats up with that!? Not only can I not attach my hose, but if I could I am afraid it would interfere with the routing of the exhaust.

Can I swap out the part from the old engine to the new? I removed the bolt from the old engine but the part that is seated on the motor doesn't seem to want to give.

Advice?

Mark,

I just looked at the cam on my 796... it looks like it's split right where yours did.  It's weird... I can't tell if it was a mold mark, or if it just split right there...

[Howie]

The breather has two O rings as a seal.  By now they would be pretty hard and brittle.  Some persuasion and patience and it should come out.  69K on your breather?  Maybe consider a new one.

When I took mine off the main part of the TB it is cracked in several places on the back.

I'll let you know how I fare with the 3D printer.

Any advice on the best method for getting the TB's back into the intake manifolds? One at a time or both at once?

 Mhanis: If you haven't heard back from the 3D printer shop, see if they have a scanner they could use to quickly and easily [fewer $ ?] do a scan of the old part to create your replacement piece?  The cost of some of these things has gone down dramatically over the past few years. Even a few small shops around my area have purchased the scanners. They make creating a new, duplicate piece really easy.

..... just throwing it out there. Good luck!
