Justintoxicated Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 I could not the the 1&5/8 plugs in the OP's post to fit in my cub. I had to chuck them into a drill press and taper them a bit. Just FYI in case anyone else comes across this thread. Quote
TwistedMethods Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Why do you have to do a leak down test ? I just got an rebuilt my first banshee Quote
wayne_smith97 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Air leaks can lean out your fuel mixture and burn up your engine. Quote
TwistedMethods Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Damn so this is somthing i should do right away or i can go ahead with my break in ? Quote
special06shee Posted March 30, 2014 Report Posted March 30, 2014 Correct. A leak down should be done before break in. Quote
01-pussyslayen Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Reviving old post. can you do the leak down test with your carbs on to see if it leaks through out there at all or do you have to take them off? Quote

01-pussyslayen Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 And it didn't really specify but does your piston need to be at TDC or doest it matter? Quote
wayne_smith97 Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 And it didn't really specify but does your piston need to be at TDC or doest it matter? Doesn't matter. Jerk the carbs and exhaust off and plug the exhaust and mount leak down parts into intake boots. Pump it up to 6 lbs and wait 6 minutes and see if there is a drop in pressure. If there is a drop in pressure, check your leak down tester and exhaust plugs first. Quote
01-pussyslayen Posted July 2, 2015 Report Posted July 2, 2015 Ok Thank you guys for the quick responses Quote
slag_350300 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Posted February 8, 2016 I am out of town currently (baby on the way) and I want to take advantage of buying materials needed to build a tester. I live in a remote area with limited supplies and or higher prices. I didn't think about this until now and I don't have my wheeler here to take measurements so I'm wondering if anyone can help me out on what size freeze plugs I'll need for stock cylinders, and also what size pvc to buy for 33mm pwk carb boots? Inside diameter. The rest of the list mentioned by OP, I should be good to go. Thanks a lot Quote
Deezil Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 Note to other noobs like myself, measure your stuff, the sizes of pipe and plugs used here are way too big for my motor, so I dont know if the one used was modified? But just an FYI, save the rest of you from making multiple trips to the store! Quote

locogato11283 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Posted December 24, 2017 Yea, a lot of people used to use Photobucket, which was always garbage.. But now those pics don't work. Quote
Keno Posted December 29, 2017 Report Posted December 29, 2017 You'll need to use Firefox or Chrome, but here is how I see the photobucket photos on my PC.
