I am going to re-pack my big gun today and would like to know if anybody has done this and can post any pictures. I am pretty sure it is very straightforward procedure but tips would be good.



Thanks,

Francis.

PS Marty are going to the forest on Sunday??

 

I am thinking about it, what's your plan?

 

i just started i got almost all in , last couple of inches are hard... will post pic as soon as i finish, maybe 1/2 hour

 

got it will try to make a write-up

 

I am a noob at write ups so please bear with me.....

I read that the big gun has to be repacked every 20 hrs..... man I have been way over that.

Anyway headed to cycle gear and got me some 4 stroke muffler packing material 9.99, so far so good.

Then I grabbed me some loctite (thanks bmhd) and went to work.

I am going to upload photos

Took the pipe off the bike and.........

Remove end cap with soft mallet


Pull out race core and old packing material.







Clean before repacking




Roll material around race core



Stuff race core and packing material into pipe ... harder than it seems.....


Make sure that core goes into recieving end in canister and that core aligns with the end cap.. some adjustment necesary.


Loctite bolts.


Done.. About an hour. ready for more thrashing in the forest.....

 

missed picture pull out race core.

 

This is my first write up. I hope it helps as if you don't re-pack damage can result voiding the Warranty.

I know how much you hate having to call Big gun hahahahah

I hate to tell you this, Francis, but your warranty is ALREADY void.

Basically, the warranty boils down to:

We are fairly confident that our products won't fall apart as long as they're sitting on the shelf, but all bets are off if you actually try to use our products.

See this link for details: Big Gun Limited Warranty --> WTF?!??

Great write-up by the way, and thanks for the pics!

Posting is not as easy as it looks..... htsrocker


Famous words ..by a friend.

I am glad you liked it. I mean it was my first time and this is not big gun packing... And I could not wait for somebody to answer see I have this problem I can't stay i n one place too long... Like a road runner yeah Road Runner thats it..
Anyway there warranty has so many disclaimers it is better to leave it in the box heheheh. I am with you on that.

I think it came out allright . The bike didn't catch fire

 

In answer to the question at the top of the topic, no and I never will have to [8D]

Cheers
