This thing bother me twice and after i changed to metal one then no more problem of this...

i guess your carby need to re-tune,
find some experience mech to do it for you

my mom's fren who help me to re-tune/clean up the carby when i change my clutch...
but unfortunately, my carby auto choke already un-function...

where you get the metal hose?
i changed mine twice after my mom's fren help me changed few days ago,
but the problem come back again today ~
the stupid rat bite the same place and cause the hose broken ~

how to prevent this?

Advantages/Disadvantages of Overhaul:
- eventho all parts are new... but still stuck with 660cc and 2 valve perpiston.. engine still struggling
- modifying ori engine can be carryout through out the overhaul, ori part > performance part, example
... head swap.. from 6v to 12v.. but must take the carb and exhaust manifold too.. a little rewiring must be done
... clutch plate.. change to 850 has some advantages for 660 as 850 are bigger.. 850=L2 size..or can opt for exedy 3puck for L2..
... flywheel.. can send to lightened the flywheel.. give good rev all out but , skimmed too much will degrade the high end power..unless there's something helping to push the top, e.g. turbo snail..
... piston.. can use super over size, 72mm 4g13 std size piston.. this piston are flat. means compression are meant for hi comp.. ..lighter rev.. it a good idea when overhaul that we change the piston as maybe the bore is already bigger.. means the ori piston are not tight in the bore.. so use bigger piston solve the problem.. (remmbr like my fren case.. piston 1 dun have compression eventho already change piston ring.. it still happen.. and when dismantle every back.. and check out between piston 1 and its bore .. we can sleeve in a business card..here make the compression lost.. )
... electronic distributor.. forget dy the advantages but afaik, dont have to change the contact point regularly.. also a lighter rev..

Advantages/Disadvantages of L5 660 N/A
- cooler look and cooler aircond using dashboard > L5..
- 4piston=lesser vibration
- getting new experience with new engine..
- is u dont get good h/c a nightmare will haunt u down dude..
.. eventho sparepart are available. u're losing on installation fees...
... sparepart are bit expensive example.. top set of Jb-series engine are 550-650RM.. while 12v/6v top set most of expensive kena chop like rm130(daihatsu packaging)... even rm60 also can get..
.. u dont know previous history of ur halfcut.. the reason of being cutted at japan.. example.. masuk longkang... masuk sawah padi.. wiring problem or other problem.. tarak lepas japan yearly inspection ka..... the service history.. being trashed or being driven by a girl or makciks.. tips: take accident halfcut are better.. cos we know the car being cutted becos of accident.. but dont straight 'bang' front la.. maybe on right or left side..
-some chopshop use chemical to wash the engine b4 putting on the shelf. maybe having hard to see the leakage...
need to concern more on engine part if using L5..
as other.. like gearbox,radiator.. can use back L2/kancil part

Advantages/Disadvantages of L5 660 Turbo twincam 4 piston 16v
... take from above.. just add
+ a pure power upgrade!...

decision is urs...

if done overhaul.. engine shud have no problem and restore back original power.. if other have problem might not solve all the problem
if done conversion.. need to worry the sparepart and money constraint.. and maybe some other problem might occur too..

Detomaso,
wah, suddenly you reply a lot !
really great info there ~
i guess your experience is buy from $$$, right ?

regarding the hose,
it looks like mice's teeth bite lah~
before that don't have such problem one...
too bad my phone camera can't take close up shot...

that hose broken same place twice ...

great info there from detamaso...u r really experienced dude...hope we all can share more with you..

anyway...at the end of the day L2s is still the best choice rite???better FC and got heck lot more power rather than throwing money into the stock 660cc 6V engine...but L2s halfcut price is increasing lately...not to forget about the cost of installation...lately i have been thinking about my budget for transplant..honestly its kinda tight...thought of maintain the current engine...just overhaul it n change to 12v head...replace clutch n timing belt...

JasonB :

if ur budget is 3.5k for transplant process...i think its very tight because L2 halfcut also cost u around 2.4k-2.8k(depending on condition of halfcut)...then installation n replace of tear and wear parts...if u r lucky then u can get a good halfcut...if not then you will have to fork out more money to replace tear and wear parts...but in a long run L2s its a good choice...plug n play straightaway...low maintainence...low FC provided you dont rev all the way to redline then only change gear...if u wanna transplant L2s engine...i think u need to prepare at least 4k...

Owh ic ic. Umm Overhauling better not do it since your transplanting so maybe you transplant the L5 engine NA one. 4-piston. I heard got high maintainence for the 4-piston engine. Spare part kind of hard to get though. Umm trying to get a L5 3 piston one or maybe a 850cc Kelisa Engine Twin Cam 12v one.


Hmm, this one I think carburator dirty i guess. Well not really sure. My RPM with Aircond around 1.5 sometimes unstable. I saw my throttle body quite dirty though. Before on my carb engine i was having the same problem as well.

its not mice. might be something sharp kena that hose, engine vibration make the cut.

Added on May 6, 2009, 7:14 amconverting during economic breakdown sure put u pain in de arse.

but during these day lah u have lots of choise choosing halfcut.. really. so recently my visit to halfcut.. like 1 halfcut got 2-3 L2s Front Cut. just either being auto and manual only. price varies... floating ranging from 2k-2.6k .. one of the best is L2s White Meter,power steering, auto halfcut .. clean engine located somewhere in pandan indah. Giant Jaya Autopart. @ RM2k.
