  1. Install a new crankshaft, piston, and rings. Did a leak down test and was all good. I noticed large amounts of what seemed to be carbon where the head pipe meets the silencer as well as black shit from the silencer. Drained the oil and it seems a bit darker than it was. Still the same amount of oil. Could there be a leak between the crank compartment and the gear box? How can I know if this is correct. I though maybe the black carbon was from the rich mixture I was using to break her in? Is it normal to have lots of black carbon at break in. Plugs are brown. What the easiest way to tell?

  2. So if the leak down test passed I shouldn't be getting oil through the crank seal or case? The gear compartment is vented so if the seal was bad I would have failed the leak down. Okay makes sense. What proper break in procedure?

  3. I'm using Bel-ray mc-1 25:1. My clymers manual said to run rich at first and then swap over to regular 50:1. A leak down test wouldn't let me know if there was a leaky crank seal because the clutch case was on at the time. The grayish oil I have drained may just be my clutch. But there is quite a bit of black oil leaking from head pipe and silencer.

  5. 280 main 30 pilot jet, Coolhead, Fmf exhaust, pod filters. I had a hard time getting fuel into the jugs after getting my cylinders bored and wiseco pistons installed. I opened the plugs and dumped fuel down the jugs. Started right away but will only idle if I have the choke out all the way. I know this means it's lean but with a 30 pilot? Air adjust screw is all the way in. Do I need a larger main? Sounds good when the choke is fully out. Even if it's half way it's idling pretty high. The carb slides are fully down and in the correct carb. Choke tube is connected between the carbs
