my blaster was running perfect. spark plug tan 32:1 premix well anyways the oil injection was taken off and there was a long rubber hose just hanging around still running to the motor i plugged it up and bam half hour of constant riding but varying speed my goddamn piston seized.cant even kick over at all. engine felt real hot could me plugging that of been why?
 
I think the tube you plugged was the crankcase breather tube....

I dont think that would cause the top-end to seize
 
after it seized i saw like air bubbles in that hose that normal? i live down dirt roads road most time in 6th but just cruising at like 1/4 throttle not raggin on it that the reason maybe?ordering new piston maybe the 240 kit and oil injection block off kit and tors removal kit to get rid of any future headaches.also see no leaks but have to refill tranny fluid almost everyday where else could it go?so many questions but its on my mind>
 
is it smoking alot? white smoke? if theres no leaks when it sitting, either its just leaking when its running or you could be burning the transmision fluid due to a bad crank seal.
 
it smokes when i first start it then when its warm it dont. i though i saw a leak so i cleaned the motor and rode it no signs of leak. gonna check tomorrow for leaks as its gonna be sitting.how hard is it to change a crank seal?gonna order a manual while im at it.
 
crank seals arent bad but if it doesnt need replacing right now, dont bother. id start with a new clutch cover gasket just to clean er up and seal it nicely.
 
heres some pics of the damage to my piston.i dont think the rings seated right.rode it for a month not raggin it too bad.never rode in sixth for extended period of time and when i did this is what happened. found out i have a cracked reed but wasnt noticeable when riding. ordering new sh*t again see what happens this rebuild.
