bansheedemon Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 So i rode the banshee a bit today and when i parked it the right side pipe let out a little smoke for 10-15 seconds. Now it wont start. Would a fouled plug and flooded cylinder cause these things? Or is it 2 seperate problems you think? When i try to start it it acts flooded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hmm, I would say check your compression, record your findings and report back, maybe you've blown a cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheedemon Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 if i had burned a hole in the piston wouldnt i have noticed it driving or idling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Some will, some won't. You should be in touch with your machine enough to know when it is only running one cylinder. Sadly a lot of people miss the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheedemon Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 it felt like both were firing to me. Lots of power, no weird noises. But im compression testing and scoping cylinder tomorrow. Mostly looking for other potential causes for what it could.be whill im checking. Im leaning towards it not a whole in my piston. Talked to a couple builders and they seem to think might not be.

bansheedemon Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 so conpression test read at 173 in left cylinder and 175 right cylinder. Which is a lot higher than i figured it would be. And i scoped it with a camera, which led me to an area of concern. There is a little coolant in the right side cylinder. Not much but about 8-10 drops on top of piston. What would cause this? Small tear in right side o-ring for the cool head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bansheedemon Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 kind of what i figured. Hardware stores usually have them or are they an uncommon size that has to be special ordered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
