cline Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) 99 banshee with a rhino cool head..keeps blowing the orings around the pistons.....ideas? Nobody can help you unless you are extremely specific about your problem as well as your banshee and where you ride. You need post up everything....... -mods to your bike -where you were riding -temp, elevation -what carbs, main jet size, pilot jet size, needle position -what events led up to the blown O-ring -two stroke oil used and at what ratio -tors removed or not If you aren't specific about your problem you'll either get no response or 10,000 different responses which neither are going to get you anywhere. These guys on here are really sharp but you have to help them help you. To much information = Good Not enough information = Bad I would at least start with at least the items I suggested then if the experts require more they will ask you. Try this and your results will be much better. Edited March 10, 2012 by cline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phelps Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 when you replaced them did you use the brown Orings just like that came out of it? by that i mean are you using the kit sold for the rhino head? if so i would think the head is warped. what are you using to hold the orings in place and do you have a pic of a old blown oring?

katt68 Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 i did not use a kit, i went to a hydraulic shop and fitted o rings that fit, i did use Viton ones(brown), what is the best way to see if the head is warped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelps Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 The standard orings non brown wont last. Order a kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A straight edge and a feeler gauge. Take measurements in about every direction you can. If your not sure how to do this take it to a shop.
