did you resnyc the carbs?

well the reason im doing it is that the last time i rode it was a fresh top end that we broke in perfectly, on the first "ride"i shifted into 6th and then it got real hot real quick and melted my one of pistons.we couldnt figure it out but thought it may have sucked air in somewhere and leaned it right out causing the meltdonwn.would i be correct in this assumption?

yes the leakdown tester i have is for autos.it a snapon that screws right into the head.is it possible to do it this way?or am i going to have to adapt it to read from the intake port?will i get accurate readings if i use the adapter for the head?

oops i read wrong, my leakdown tester plugs into a spark plug hole so how should i go about plugging the intakes?i have an idea about how to do the exhaust ports but im lost on the intakes.

i diid the compression test last night and it was reading like 35 or so without the pipes on and this does not seem right.it feels like way motr because it kickes over pretty hard and has good pop.im going to do it agiain today and double check everything.oh yeah i dont need to plug the intakes for the leakdown test?edit:just did it again and it topped out at 140, is this good?

i need to konw how to do a leak down test on the shee.i have a tester and all but i need to know what to block off and how much psi to put into it.also on a compression test should it be at running temp or cold?and does having the pipes on make a difference in the comprssion test?

kids just trying to sell his damn shee,its called marketing.its not like hes asking a shit ton of money.like none of you guys have ever told a "fish" story.yeah it probably wont beat a craptor but shit cut the kid some slack.

things sike but not 45k sick

just finished watchin the sox whoop the angels, puttin back a few wobbly pops and doing pretty much nothin.sounds fun huh?i was supposed to workin on the shee but my exs child support check didnt clear so no work on banshee for me. :wallbash:

that was a great finish, havnt seen one like that in a while

well there goes dale

im goin for dale jr or stuart. who you guys goin for?

ill get my fix of warm weather next week cause ill be in florida, takin the kids to disney.it may not be hot down there but it sure as hell is warmer in florida than it is in nh.

this is the first acual snow cover of the year,one more storm and ill be happy after that im all good

lol!them are fightin words

that thing is pretty cool.my friend has a vacume along the same lines, its sweet it wont fall down stairs it goes and charges itself.i was watching the news this morning and some guy made a remote control snow plow for his driveway out of a golf cart.mounted a camera on the front, sat on his couch in front of his big screen and plowed his driveway.people are becoming lazier every day.

we finally got enough snow to do a little riding in my back yard, its about time.the formula is runnin perfect and i had a blast yesterday.today im hookin up a tube to rip the kids around on, should be a good time.

if he dosnt know what to look for he may not have noticed it and i dont know why i didnt think of that because the same thing happened to mine.look at the basket notches and if it looks like the plates have worn into the notches this very well could be your problem

yeah i crank my shaft 60hrs every couple of weekend too :biggrin:

oh yeah i forgot to mention that

what are you running to make 90hp?

there are little circlips that hold the pistons to the rod.you can barley see them.use a 90 degree pick and pop them out.they will probably go flying across your garage so have so new ones on hand.as for your carbs clean them real well and they should be fine just replace the gaskets when your done.also if you dont have a clymer manual,GET ONE!!it will answer 95% of your questions.

if you have it apart i would change the clutch ball anyway.its like a 2 dollar part and if its not true at all you will have problems.

i wouldnt change it yet 60 hrs really isnt that much.if youve got the money to do it go ahead but i dont see it being necessary.i just put my motor .80 over and i just now put a new crank in

you a distibuter for dave?cause that looks like a noss head with your logo.
