Yes. The water pump is supposed to turn, when the motor is turned over. Sounds like you have a broken gear.

It's lean, so put in the 27.5 pilots. FMF's like a bit richer pilot.

Put in 27.5 pilots. It's usually required, whenever you put on aftermarket pipes.

You need to install 27.5 pilots for the Fatty's, and start with the air mixture screws at 1.5 turns open.

It's coolant, and oil mixed. It could be a bad water pump seal.

27.5 pilot jets, and 280-300 on the main. Start with the 300 main, and go from there.

You may have to split the cases, and once you get it out, also put in a pancake bearing to prevent this from happening again.

You need to be running 27.5 pilot jets. The porting, and pipes are making it run lean, which causes hard starting, and problems at idle.

Take the carbs off, one at a time, and clean them throughly. Remove the pilot, and mains, before attempting to clean them. Since you left it set, I'm sure you've got some kinda crud in them.

Ditch the boost bottle, and check your intakes for cracks, because the boost bottle is known to cause this. Sounds like you have a massive air leak some where, and that's why one side is barely smoking, and it's getting hot.

795 series Wiseco's, are what you need.

If the TORS is still hooked up, look under the left side of the tank, and unplug the little black box.

Either your floats are stuck, or set to high, or the needle, and seat above the floats need to be replaced. Take the leaking carb off, remove the bowl, hook the gas line back up, while the carb is outside of the frame, turn the gas on, push the float up, and if it continues to flow fuel, then your float needles, and seats are bad.

The BB is inside the bowl, on the left carb, so you have to take the bowl off to see it. What main jets, and pilot jets are in the carbs? Are both air mixture screws opened the same amount of turns? Does it run better, or worse, with the choke on?

As long as the Outerwear's stay off of the stingers, they won't melt. Mine are much closer than that, and don't melt.

Is the clutch basket all grooved up? If so, the plates probably aren't separating enough to disengage the clutch.

You're getting coolant in the gear case. There is a o-ring on the pipe that goes into the clutch cover, that could be bad. Bad water pump seal is another possibility.

Yeah, put the next size bigger pilot jet in, and/or adjust the air mixture screws.

Somebody should email him, streetrodder1@mediacombb.net.

Shearer's, and CPI's require fender cutting also. PTs, Pro Circuits, FMFs, Toomeys, and similar pipes won't require fender cutting.

Just to add to what Cam said. Is your gas tank vent working properly? IE, is your steering stem full of water, and the vent hose isn't getting air, or is the vent in the cap all plugged up?

I saw this happen once before, and it was because of the silencer packing being plugged up. The packing was changed, and it stopped the backfiring. Have you ever changed the silencer packing?

I would maybe go down on your pilot jet. no less than a 25, NO WAY IN HELL. Most of the time, hard starting is caused by a lean issue, and a lean issue can lead to a melt down. Try going up to a 30 on the pilots, and see if it starts any easier.

Check your air mixture screws, and make sure both are adjusted the same.
