shogs Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 How long would it take my top end to blow if my air boots were cracked and I didn't know. When I bought my banshee I found out within the first few rides up and down my yard that they were cracked. I'm just trying to figure out if theres a chance the pistons could of burned up a little when it was running extremely lean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Pull the plugs. They should be a chocolate brown. Black would be rich, and white would be lean. Do a plug chop if you don't know. Here's a chart to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertdeweller Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 depends on how bad the cracks are and how long they have been there. the previous owner could have riddn it that way for awhile but may have had it running rich. which could have compensated a little.

LiftdT4R Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Do a compression test, that will give you an idea of how much life is left in the bore, and if you have any problems now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 the best way is to run it wide open in 6th for about a mile or so. if it blows up, well then you need a new topend and the cracks must have been bad. if it doesnt blow up youre fine and you should ride it like you stole it!!

shee4speed Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 loco has an answer for everyone. Prob.just fix the leaks,do the comp.test and check the plugs.Then if all passes then do like loco suggests,and ride it like you stole it!

bansheejoel Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Just because there cracked doesnt always mean there sucking air. I would replace them but i wouldnt worry about it unless its running lean. I have a nice used set i will sell you for 25 shipped if interested.
