Rotax 618 R.A.V.E. valve dismantle and cleaning

[@SkyWriter25]

Interesting video. I've never seen a valve setup like that before - or a zip tie used as a replacement valve spring. 🤔 That valve system looks like something you'd expect to see on an old steam engine, but if it works, it works! When you were adjusting the piston position I was thinking to myself that maybe you should run air into the cylinder to help keep stuff out and that's just what you did! I'm learning how you think! 😁

Thanks for your comment. I like the way you think too!

There’s a surprise in the RAVE valve assembly video to be posted shortly

I'll be sure to look for it!

Hello, I love watching your videos, but there are 2 videos I really want to see. 1 is how to straighten a Rotax 2 cylinder crankshaft, and 2 how to set the Ducati ignition timing on the 2 cyl rotax engines IN DETAIL. I would prefer a single ign 447 or 503. Thanks

Thank you for your kind comment. I’ll put the crankshaft truing on the list. The 447 assembly video will be out shortly, it a single cdi ignition.
