The Noob Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 So, bike ran great all season, then on the last ride of the last trip stopped to have a beer and it wouldn't start.Bumped it and it ran fine. Got back to Camp & wouldn't start,put new plugs in and fired right up, continued ride, stopped for another beer, wouldn't start. Got home suspecting worn rings but compression test read 126 both sides same as beginning of the season.Friends said they noticed a lot of smoke when I bumped it. I know a leak-down test is in order but just wondering if bad seals would keep it from firing. *it rained and I had lid off, filter might've been wet. *maybe I f'd up the gas mix. *broken reed peddle even though they were new at the start of the season.

hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'd say wet filter.. lack of air would explain your symptoms best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Noob Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Well the filter was REALLY damp after I washed it, which hasn't happened before, not sure if it was still wet from the weekend rains. But the question is still out there; What are some symptoms of blown crank case seals besides white smoke and water in the crankcase ???

J-Madd Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Blown crank seal on pto side can suck tranny oil in cylinder producing excess smoke out of that side. Flywheel side crank seal failure can be immediate meltdown as it sucks air in and instantly leans it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry's Shee Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Not even close to correct.Ummmm, maybe should have given him a clue.It is possible to leak between case halves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Ummmm, maybe should have given him a clue. It is possible to leak between case halves I just had this feeling that the OP was going about diagnosing problems 100% backwards in this case.

hoppedupandcutdown Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 So did you ever dry your filter and try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
