If you’re having that level of seal problems then you need to address how you’re building your motor.
The seal on that bearing doesn’t have a spring in it like a normal seal. It’s essentially a drag inducing dust cover and a waste of time to run it.

Re: Series 2 hard to kick over
I think that’s part of it but it feels more like an alignment/chain/gear type problem. Will get on it today. It’s been too hot to mess with anything, 105f yesterday

Re: Series 2 hard to kick over
It's not just about compression ratio. As already pointed out, it's the lever, or rather the ratio of engine revolutions versus distance of lever travel. I've done a couple of builds like this recently and used a bigger front sprocket to resolve it. On LI150 with scootopia kits, a 16 tooth sprocket...

Re: RB20 fit
For anyone that’s interested, we were able to fix it by opening up the bottom of the stud hole with a carbide burr. Took almost nothing out and it freed up the binding point off the stud. It looks like the finish pass in the machine process might not have gone all the way through the cylinder but th...
