Thanks for the advice. I am going to do a leakdown test as soon as I can get the parts to do it and I'll keep you posted. Until then...

I keep hearing and reading about checking the primary compression by doing a leak down test. It sounds like I should try this first before I go any further. Is there a leak down kit that I should buy? Would checking the comression at the cylindars give me an indication that the crank seals are bad? I have never split the cases before and I want to make damn sure that I have narrowed down the problem before I tear into it.

I need help. I went to ride my banshee the other day and noticed that the trany oil level was really high and very thin. I wiped the dipstick clean and it smelled just like gas. So I figure that I am getting gas leaking into the transmission somehow. Has anyone had this problem before?
