As stated you need to clean out the shaft hole, I glued wet and dry sandpaper to the wooden handle of a spoon, very important, when you reassemble don't put 2 stroke oil on the packing seal, you must use grease, other than that it's just a matter of opening and closing the kips to spot the binding area

Did you sand dry or use any type of lubricant? Thanks

I just use soapy water as it's the final stage of washing it before reassembly, remember to do the same to the holes for the side exhaust valves

Thanks for the info

Disassembly begins tonight. Is it safe to take apart the kips with top end attached to bottom end? In terms of dropping anything? I’d like to start with the kips disassembly if possible. Noticed my shift shaft seal is leaking… I replaced that about 3 years ago. Was a pain in the butt. Thanks

Normally, if tearing down an engine, you start with the cylinder and work your way down and then in.

How exactly do you use the soapy water. Sorry thanks

I tested the smoothness of the kips, took a good amount of force to break free from closed… and I feel some binding when opening and closing by hand, but not quite enough to stop the governor from doing its thing. I noticed it binds at fully open as well. The binding could have very well been slowing down the actuation. This may have been my problem all along but I’m still happy to go back to the stock ported cylinder regardless. I got the shift shaft seal out. Would it be dumb to use something like threebond 1211 around the metal part of the new seal when installing? I’m going to take my time and really make sure everything gets assembled nicely, making sure squish is correct upon reassembly.
