grounded Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 The reed gasket on the left cylinder developed a leak while riding in the dunes. It had actually mushroomed the gasket out. Immediatly the bike would backfire due to the cylinder running lean. Shut it down and towed it back to camp. I' m going to replace the gaskets tomorrow. I have'nt heard of this happening before. Oh well, just thought I would share. Oh, yeah the stainless radiator hoses worked great on both quads out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D34 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 if vp110 did it, any other gas would have also... dont blame it on the brand/type of gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNBRAD Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Oh, yeah the stainless radiator hoses worked great on both quads out there. Awesome, thanks for the info. Engine seem to run cooler? Seems like it would have to since it's like a 200 fin cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 might try a lil y-bond4 on both sides of those gaskets for a little extra seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
