What's leaking?


Recommended Posts

I know it's not tranny oil because my oil on the dip stick is still light brown. The oil that is leaking is very dark. I think it is leaking from the exhaust, wondering if the shearers aren't in properly. I'm mixing at 40:1 (927), it leaks out of the silencers a bit onto my 6 pack rack. Is it known for the shearers to leak from the cylinders?

Took it on a 30-35 mile ride yesterday and it still runs hard.

 

Here are some picks. Need some help

Looks like the o-rings to me, I just replaced mine and it cleared up.

 

Thanks, I'll be picking up some new o-rings from Shearer next week. Does anyone suggest a different oil mixture than 40:1. I feel like trying 50:1, what do you guys think?

yep, it's your head pipe o-rings. my pipes used to leak like that on my cub cylinders. the ones that come with the shearers are slightly thinner than they should be. i bought a set of o-rings from Jeff at FAST and the problem went away, http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=94

they fit tight so they are some what of a bitch to get on but they work. with a little 2 stroke oil and some ass they go on.

This kind of sucks, another issue I have is that the stinger is leaking through the weld of the part that connects to the silencer. Then the left pipe hitting the head, which I had to use like a dozen washers. Now this leaking at the cylinders, WTF :shoothead: .

 

Also chrome is statring to chip :banghead:

yea the chronming on shearers blow... and pretty much everyone has to shim the left pipe.. you would think with this being a common problem matt would shift his jig to fix it but i guess not... you might call them about your weld leaking... they should fix that for you...
