I rebuilt mine!! nothing different then a regular engine..
Yeah, it was the time that was the problem. In the end, it took us a lot of time and frustration trying to save time. Oxymoron, I know!! LOL!!

Update gang...
Rebuild done, Joyner running beautifully. We also rebuilt nearly the whole buggy. The original color was camo, but that's all faded now to a muddy green. We bought new fenders all the way around, I got tired of hubby throwing cactus and cow sh*it all over me! LOL!! The new fenders are wider than the originals, and help keep that nonsense off of me, from the 12x30's we're running. Also added small rubber mud flaps hubby manufactured for a little additional protection. Now it doesn't sit idle very long...

Well, we found a problem with the crank that probably came from the factory; found gunk in the oil pick up tube caked on the screen; found crap in the oil pan; good grief. This was supposed to have been a rebuilt motor...??? Also, JoynerUSA wants an arm and a leg for the parts list we've given them so far. I'm wondering how much the trade agreement with China and the tariffs are affecting that. Thanks Dwayne, we'll probably be asking questions.

Well, after a bad experience with repairs to our Trooper, Lloyd tore into the engine himself. We originally wanted to save time by hiring the engine rebuild out, but that bit us square in the butt. Remember the discussion about Silverbullet motorsports in Yuma??
Stay tuned....we'll let you know what happens.
Has anyone rebuilt the engine in these troopers?

Hey, did you guys from Tehachapi ever get any kind of inventory of Joyner 1100 parts?

If your in need of Joyner parts get ahold of
Casey Ye
My contact in China. Very reputable woman. Has parts in the states.
From Casey.
please help me to inform them that i Have ordered 20 pieces of 650 rear CV axles which will be available in beginging of April. if They want They Can contact me. I willconfirm exact available time after Chinese New Year Holiday. Thanks.
Have part numbers as she is a not associated with Joyner. Just gets us the parts we need.
Be cautious on part numbers because shipping is really high on China shipping of heavy parts and she is trying to make money and also support our Joyners for us.
Is Casey still a good source for Chery parts?

Sorry for the late reply! We had the engine overhauled. It turned out to be low compression.

Matt thewrench, I sent you a pm.

Without more info, sounds just like our '08 trooper - turned out to be low compression. We had to pull-start it the first time, then it would start all day. When it cooled off we'd have to pull-start it again.

The credit card thing might have been a coincidence, I also understand that. We need a dipstick and brake pads, including the emergency brake.

silverbullet Will have been building engines since 1997
This is likely ours he's talking about here....we have a 2008 Joyner Trooper T2. We took it to Rich in Nov 2017, with the understanding he would start on it right after the first of the year. Finally after many communications and giving up, we retrieved it unfinished the first of Sept - and the buggy was cannibalized. The engine had been rebuilt, but he did not do the rebuild himself, because he didn't have a mechanic. The engine was rebuilt, he told us by NAPA, however it does supposedly have his custom cam in it. BUT, it's not holding good oil pressure. Still working out what we're gonna do about that. There's supposed to be a warranty on it, but we're not hauling it back down there so the warranty can be honored. He's 5 hrs away from us, and who knows what might be taken off it if we take it back down there. AND, he has no mechanic. As we said, we retrieved it unfinished. The engine had not been installed, the clutch and pressure plate had not been installed, and Rich told us himself he's too old to do the work. There's a Joyner T4 sitting there now that was there when we dropped ours off in Nov 2017. And now there's an Oreion sitting there he says he's working on. Again, he has no mechanic. We retrieved our Joyner the first of September, and Lloyd and our son spent 2 days finding parts, installing the engine, and putting it back together to the point they could load it on the trailer and bring it home. Rich still owes us parts that were not there (gaskets, ignition, etc) and parts that were taken off that should not have been. He claims he has no knowledge of what was taken or why. We don't question his knowledge - but he is ultimately responsible for parts that were removed that he cannot account for. The ignition was gone; the steering column was dismantled and parts missing. And that only scratches the surface....in a nutshell, if you are considering getting Silverbullet to do some work for you, I suggest you do a shop visit first and make your own decision from there.

Good heavens.....Matt the wrench did not exaggerate...AT ALL.....speaking from experience.

Most of the folks on here do their own work on their Joyners, but finding a reliable place to buy parts online would be a great help!

- I want to know if / when you get up and running...

Petethedog, I sent you a PM

Thx for the reply Jeff. Lloyd can give it just a little throttle and it starts as well. Seems kinda strange. Will check compression for sure. 18k kilometers on the buggy, no dust now but there was when we first got it before we upgraded the air filter. Lloyd changes he oil regularly, cleans the air filter nearly with every trip out to keep dirt out of it. Not foolproof, I know.
-
More starting issues - it seems the buggy doesn't like cool mornings for a change. It will whirl but not start if its close to the freezing mark. After the day warms up, it will start with no problem. A simple pull with another vehicle and it will also start with no problem. New plugs, new battery, etc have not seemed to help the matter. Any ideas gang?
-
Has anyone purchased a toy hauler? If so, what did you buy, for what kind of toy, and are you happy with it?
-
Update - got about 2 years out of the second set of tires - again the front ones started popping holes where the lug meets the carcass. Although, not nearly as bad as the first set. Still undecided what we will do next.
-
Good to know, thx Matt!
-
We had rain 5 out of 10 days, and high humidity the rest of the time. Lloyd had to use starting fluid to start it when we got home; something we didn't take with us. Then when it did fire, it blew black smoke like a diesel. It's running now, thankfully!

Congrats on your new trooper!! I'm watching...want to know how you like it.

Good to hear from ya Rocmoc!! Glad things are going well for ya...so sorry to hear about Lenny and Jeff. Hey, in all your cleaning, you didn't come across a water pump for the T2, did ya? We lost ours last weekend - probably the one and only part we didn't replace on the Joyner. Go figure....
