i have a 1 litre that was rattling really badly on ildle and evan worse when u rev it it, it is only a parts car so i reved the crap out of it and the rattle went quieter because it cracked the side of the engine block off and oil blows out of it (it evan still runs) not very well tho. so if i was u i would get it looked at b4 to much damage is done

hahaha well said. Cheapest way would be to throw the old motor in the bin, and pick up a second hand motor, i have seen them for $200.Posted: Tue May 29, 2007 9:56 am

It's hard to over rev a push bike.
You can buy a nice pushy for the price of a reco sierra motor. Tell your son he is saving the planet.
Steve.
Seriously though, don't bother with a rebuild, you'll put heaps of time and $$$ into it and it sounds like he will blow it anyway- trying to tell him to run it in nicely etc will be a waste - Just throw cheap secondhand motors in it they are already loose so they shoudld take a rev.
PS, there are some ignition cut rev limiters available for carby cars - could be worth a look
