baddsheee Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtunas Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Did you install new o rings? I have sheares too, and they dont do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baddsheee Posted May 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Did you install new o rings? I have sheares too, and they dont do that. I'm not 100% sure but I think I did, I purchased them new and I remember they came with orings for the stingers. They're only 3 months old.

05DuramaxDiesel Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Looks like the o-rings to me, I just replaced mine and it cleared up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

locogato11283 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 i run 50:1 with klotz. your orings gotta be bad or wrong to be blowing that much oil out. make sure your jetting is right on too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam2 Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 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.

baddsheee Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) for some reason the new shearers have been doing that... mine , Polish , you and a few other peoples all have done it... polish called matt and he told him to get some hi temp silicon and run a bead in th pipe ... but it still did it on his... 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 :: Edited May 7, 2007 by baddsheee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 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...
