F.T.W. Banshee Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 I just did a compression check on my my quad (left side only) and it reads at 150psi .(had to go some place didnt have time to do the other side) Anyway so a couple days later I put an ajustable timeing plate at +4 drove it for a coulple days and then my motor blew. The motor has been on the stock bore and stroke since new in 2000(besides stock piston and rings taken out and replaced with wisecos when new) I made sure that I put in the plate correctly and I you dont have to change any jetting. So what do you guys think? Quote
black sunshine Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 So you have a shaved head (150p.s.i)? Still should be o.k. to run on pump gas, I would think. Too bad you didn't get to check the compression on both sides before the fact. Is the motor still locked? If not, what are the compression numbers now? Quote
F.T.W. Banshee Posted July 1, 2009 Author Report Posted July 1, 2009 Motor is still locked.I have a cool head and run 93 octane at 32:1 Klotz super tech Quote

Larry's Shee Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 I want to know what toy could be better than a banshee? They're thrilling, agravating, and expensive!!! Maybe a Porsche or Vette. More expensive, thrilling, agravating. Please let us know what this toy is!! Quote
shanYE west Posted July 1, 2009 Report Posted July 1, 2009 The motor has been on the stock bore and stroke since new in 2000(besides stock piston and rings taken out and replaced with wisecos when new) Its been 9yrs on a set of pistons? I think you've found your problem. Them pistons have to have been tired. What size domes are you using? Quote

What size domes are you using? Domes are 20 or 21. Thought that it was kinda crazy myself that the quad never blew because I ride my shit hard. Iam ok with it tho. Quote
jbooker82 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I would pull the stator cover to make sure something didn't come loose and bind up behind the flywheel. I had a stator plate do that to me. It locked up tight. Quote

AKheathen Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 if you have 20's, then i would suspect detonation. that's why i havn't gone +4 yet Quote
