Phelps Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 leaned it out . probably toast. id do a compression test but i got a feeling you might just start tearing it down. they're not designed to be held wot for long periods of time without proper jetting.

TopGear007 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Would it run back to normal since I fixed the air leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldskool Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 As said, check your compression. See if spark plugs are still tight. Plugs will tend to back out in dangerously lean conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Air leak. With a runaway engine hold brake, shift into 2nd or higher, dump clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Would it run back to normal since I fixed the air leak It depends if you didn't do any damage while the cap was loose, as suggested be certain and a compression test to be sure!

sleeper06 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Mike seen first hand what a loose cap can cause, he watched a brand new 4 mill motor eat itself from a carb top problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Sad but true! Maybe 10 min on the motor, video taped him going WOT, and in less than 5 min a brand new 4mil just built ate itself up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
