Jgspahn Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Proper jetting I'm having a little bit of jetting issues, or an air leak. The bike held 6 psi for 10 minutes though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Proper jettingI was just being fecetious. Some guys act like it's normal. But that would make for a bike that fouls plugs for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgspahn Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 OK, I finally tore it apart and found multiple issues. First, the gaskets from both cylinders where wet like this. [=http://s286.photobucket.com/user/jgspahn/media/Banshee/20150322_175446.jpg.html][/url] Second, both pistons showed major wear on the corners wear the cylinder nuts go. What happened here? It looks significant.. please read the initial few posts where I explained what happened if you have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheerider11 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 What's a cold seizeNot letting a bike warm up. Starting it and reving the piss out of it to warm it up faster or to keep it running which it sounds like you may have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadbeat Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 hot pistons + cold cylinder, maybe you fucked up the premix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jgspahn Posted March 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's cool, I realize that I made mistakes, but they were out of inexperience and ignorance, not stupidity or carelessness. I already have the piston, so I'm going to send them off this week to be bored. Would any of this cause issues with the crank? It was true and welded on the current rebuild.

trickedcarbine Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Any top end carnage/seizure and make a crank's days numbered. I'd take that all the way down to be sure. Just seals and case sealant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
