Black Ice Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 i jus got done replacing the right side pistion and rings and the right and left side oil seals, both cylinders smoke a little, but the left one smokes more than the right one, the right side does not have any exhasut packing and the left does, will that cause this?

MDS2106 Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) might want to check your float valve/float level, i know mine smokes a little more out of one pipe,that carb also has a bad float valve asembly on the same side Edited May 5, 2005 by MDS2106 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Ice Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 what would i be checking for and whats the easiest way to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDS2106 Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 take a look and see if the carb on that cylinder leaks a little gas out of the overflow tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's pretty important to keep the cylinders balanced (i.e- the same condition as far as compression, cylinder pressure) to within 10% of each other. Did you bore the cylinder or at least have it checked for wear by a machinist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrewMachine Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 why did you just do the right side.. and why does only one side have packing? 364890[/snapback] lol.... I was thinking the exact same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'd flatten the right side tires to compensate for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Ice Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 i only replaced the right side b/c the person before me only replaced the left side about 2 months ago and that piston was in good condition, dont ask me why he only did one side to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Ice Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 take a look and see if the carb on that cylinder leaks a little gas out of the overflow tube 364701[/snapback] And yes one carb does leak a little gas out of the overflow tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 mine does this too sometimes no idea why. Check to make sure your pilots are not plugged. Why does only 1 cylinder have packing in it? Maybe thats the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Pull BOTH carbs off. Completely clean out each one. Do ONLY one at a time, because the float bowls are for that side carb. One has a choke circuit jet in it...the other does not. Check your float height, make sure there's no dirt/debris in the needle/seat area. Your float height should be at 21cm from the metal gasket surface, bottom of the carb. Check out the Jetting/Exhaust forum for quite a few complete how to's.

dajogejr Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 left one smokes more probably because the packing is holding in some oil. Regardless...they both should be repacked. Since the previous owner had the bright idea of only replacing one piston, I'd give that whole bike a once over. From grease fittings to tightening bolts, changing fluids to checking some torque specs... I'd most definately repack BOTH silencers and clean out both carbs for sure.
