First off, Im new, names Jerod, go by Jrod.
anyway, heres the deallieo.
Went riding xmas weekend. Ran great first day until later in the after noon. It started feeling like it was loosing a little power, but i had been adjusting the air mix screw between 1.5 turns and 2.25 turns just to play around with it, since i had gotten a new Pro circuit pipe. Still had the stock 230 jet in it, so i was just foooling a little.
I did richen it b4 riding by dropping the clip one spot down on the main jet needle.
Ok, next day, it started up great, (mind you it was about 35-40 degrees out) so i was happy. Let it sit and idle for a few minutes, and off we went.
It ran good for about 10 minutes, and we started taking videos and i parked it.
after i got back on it, it started kinda hard, and then didnt want to idle for crap, would just die if i didnt keep on the throttle.
so i drove it back up to the barn, and figured id check the plug, and maybe put a new one in.
Well, i did, and then it wouldnt start at all. I had my friend pull me around, and tried to pull start it, and it would run about half throttle and above, and would even drive itself no problems, but as soon as i got below half throttle, it would die.
Someone suggested my crankcase seal was blown, and i took some things off this eve, but im not positive where this seal is located. But in the proccess, i noticed that the compression seams VERY low, i could turn it over by hand with the gear on the end of the crank.
Suggestions? Kinda seems like a blown head gasket? I dont really know how long ago the motor was bored and had a new piston, but it would seem that this would have been gradually noticed, not just all of a sudden wont run type of thing.
Anyway, sorry for the long thread, hope you made it thru it all, lol.
Any help will be appreciated.
