hunt3rm008 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 i recently rebuilt the topend of my banshee, she started up on the 5th kick and now starts either the first or second kick. while breaking it in it the exhausts blew out alot of white smoke, and it smelt really bad. not like my friends banshee. so i assumed the head gasket was bad and bought a new one. after replacing it, it still does the same thing. the exhausts blow out a lot of smoke, its white, and it does not smell normal. what do you think could be my issue? thanks for the help -Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the smell smell like burning coolant, or burning oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClayAiken Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 i think it smells like coolant. i dont think its oil burning. how do i do a leakdown test and what does that check for? Leakdown tests check for any air leaks or leaks around crank seals head gaskets shit like that. Definitely do one whenever you put something together.

Surfrjag Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 May have to clear the moisture out of the cylinders and pipe. How long did you run it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunt3rm008 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 i have ran it for about 1 hour total since the first start up on rebuild. i have been babying it for that hour . how would i clear the moisture out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 how long since the 2nd headgasket. it depends how much coolant is in there. i once had to pull the exhaust off and dump coolant out of it. lol otherwise just running it will eventually burn it all up if there isnt a ton in there. how does it run?

hunt3rm008 Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 i replaced the head gasket after riding it for 20 mins and then rode it for about 30 mins with the new gasket. when i ride it i was babying it but it ran great, it felt like it wanted to take right off, but it still smoked alot. the coolant level in the radiator didnt seem to move much so i dont know.
