1997 Engine issues??

[MrEanAwesome]

Okay, so.. I posted on here awhile back about an issue with my blaster.. Last summer it sucked one of the reeds into the crank, I got it all cleaned out and got new reeds and then I had to replace the rings. It is bored .80 over with a wiseco piston with wiseco rings. After replacing just about everything I can think of and bypassing the TORS system, my blaster acts as if its not getting enough fuel or flooding out... The only thing I am left thinking that could be the problem would be crank seals.. those are going to be replaced soon... Does anyone else have any ideas..? I have been working on this thing for so long I am ready to just have it fixed..

have you leak tested?
is the carb clean?
is fuel fresh?
air filter clean?

Whats compression? Did you leak test?

Why did you need new rings?

 

[MrEanAwesome]

I do not have a leak tester... if the crank seals don't fix it then I will buy one. The carb is freshly rebuilt completely. Fuel is fresh and air filter is brand new.

I needed rings because when the reed got sucked in the engine it took a bite out of one of the rings. Also they were getting pretty worn out.

Buy a leak tester. End of question.

If you dont leak test, we cant tell you whats wrong.

PM member Awk08 to buy one

If replacing the crank seals don't work then I will buy one, thank you.. didn't even know about leak tester until about 5 minutes ago

 

[Herpderplol]

Buy one before replacing them.

A leak tester can tell you if those seals are bad, and any other place thats leaking

 

[MrEanAwesome]

I've already ordered the seals. They should be here in the next day or two. Might as well replace them anyways..

you still need to leak test an undetected air leak will cost you a new top end

I learned the hard way, FIRST LEAK TEST, then remove suspect seals. Mine was leaking between the casings and I thought it was the crank seal. The leak down test is a must before doing any striping down.

It is critical that a 2 stroke motor be leak tested after any work has been done to it.

Even a minor air leak can cause a lean mixture which is detrimental to health.

A leak test should be performed at least twice a riding season.

So many Guys and Gals visit the Forum asking "what happened to my motor" when a 10 minute leak test would have seen many more hours of pleasurable riding.
