Can i just replace the rings or should i relace the pistons too? The pistons looked really good when i had them out for the seal replacement.

I would make sure that none of the wires you cut are touching. Tape the end of each wire.

Well I am sure I will be back sooner or later. Hopefully later. So I figured it would help if i post results.

Ok I found that my crank seal was basically pushed out of its seat causing oil to leak through to the cylinder. So all new gaskets and oil seals were installed. I got it all put back together and it works! Lol The smoke is minimal now and will prob stop once the leftover oil is burned out of the pipe. Thanks for the help.

I did it with the cover off of the clutch and could hear it pissing. The motor is out now I am ready for seal and gasket replacement. Any ideas on a a good kit?

Ok my leak down test is complete! I would add that my tester worked damn fine. There is an issue though. I found that my case is leaking out of the vent tube at the back of the case. 1 bubble per sec @ 6 psi. Psi leaks to 3.5 in 6 min. Seen this before?

By the way the motor is stock.

I just got my leak down tester built. I will be testing this weekend. Do yall have any recommendations on a gasket and seal kit that is reasonably priced?

Do you mean those are all possibilities?

Thanks fellas

Since it started smoking i havent rode it enough to see the level drop. I have been checking it after every start though. It stays the same. Also the coolant stays the same level.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the 2 strokes and need some help! I have a serious smoke issue on the right side of my banshee. I've done a compression test and both cylinders are 100 psi. On the money! It also starts first kick every time. My question is, if the compression is good does that mean that I can rule out the head gasket?
