help fix my baby
- Thread starter Remington
- Start date
It goes between where the expansion chamber and silencer tube meet, to prevent leaks.
there should be a rubber gasket on threaded part of compression gauge,also sometimes the relief valves on them stick ,fiddle with it...not sure about your comp gauge but mine i have to take gas tank off to get at it good,if the hose is to long on the comp gauge it could effect the reading
the little plastic cover that the lines are going into injector pump,is easy to take off to make sure someone did not cut lines in there and leave the rest of it attached,if you were to take carb apart you you probably see some two stroke oil near reed side if pump is still working
this pic it is blocked off see the shiny metal

Yes. However be careful. There's a gasket there. It can be reused if not torn, or replaced at I believe 16 or so bucks.
I wouldnt worry about the oil injection yet. Get compression in the engine first. If you dnt have compression the oil injection doesnt mean diddly squat. If you have compression then leak test should be the very next test. Dont start the bike without leak testing it because you will just be hurting the motor even more if there is an air leak.
Any time the top end is assembled, the engine should be heat cycled. Which in your case we know you haven't, and no clue if previos owner did. Same as to the re-torque of the head and cylinder nuts. If it isn't done, it's very possible to have a leaking head gasket, which will give you zero compression. A leak down test will help diagnose that.
X-2 on oil pump delete, one thing at a time. You could/should pull hose from carb, or remove air cleaner boot and look in carb, and kick it over several time to ensureit is in fact pumping oil. Tho the pump rarely fails.
A Clymers Repair manual will be the best thing you can buy for it.
At least find the pdf download manual.

im thinking its the head gasket like everyone else has said leak test it and it will tell you if you don't it will start running really good then it will blow heres a vid on how to do it
and if it is a leaky head gasket you can do this
or just buy a new one and these bikes are supper easy to work on I think all you have to do to get the topend off is take 12 nuts off
I wouldent sell it for a 400ex mine runs with a 400ex and walks away from anything under a 400ex like its sitting still but if your heart is set on getting a 4poke get a ltz/drz/kfx400 there all the same bike and they have a lot more power than a ex and there about the same price
Ok then yes head gasket would be my thought too. Please buy or make a leakdown and follow the instructions carefully...
