plumcrazy73dodge Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 Went out to coal hill for some sick riding...which it was....hill climbs were nice Here is what I did: Attempted hydroplaning in fourth pinned across this little 1 foot deep wash out approximately 30 yards across.. got about halfway and engine cut out......due to water clogging carbs i would imagine...I have pods(yea I am an idiot for doing this) - got it out....took plugs out and kicked over getting the water out.....no start - Dried plugs out and replaced about 5 times until all water was out.... - Got it to sputter then dragged it and jump started it...it was running but like crap....because coal water is not clean.... - Rode it around trying to clean all the crap out...it was running on both cylinders and ran horrible low and mid.....but top end was crisp and fine....ran for like 2 hours like this....it started right up and idled. GOt it home: -wash it.... - pods were like black....cleaned them...cleaned outerwears - changed plugs.. -cleaned carbs...completely air hose all jets out and cleared.. - new reeds - put back together and right cylinder sputters and pipe is super hot after a few seconds..... What I have: -65.5mm forged pistons.....brand new wiseco stock crank....just rebuilt the engine.....new ricky stator and RM flywheel...stock carbs....pods w/outwears...stock reeds....no TORS....300 Jets with Paul Turner Mids with FATBOY SILencers Carbs were dirty as hell with black crap.... P.S> Bike ran MINT before I said "hey watch this!" to the kid on his 400EX Quote

Martinm210 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 check to make sure the stator didn't get all wet and dirty. I just about replaced my stator the other day only to find out all it needed was a good sanding between the base plate and stator. If the OEM can have problems with water/dirt, I'm sure the RS stator can, even more so. Those aftermarket stator covers don't seal very well is what I'm finding.. Quote

Yea stator was completly dry..the compression test revealed 70 on each cylinder....which makes me believe the rods are bent and I will need to rebuild the crank I guess the crank has less than 5 hours on it.....this blows....

slopoke Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 you will prob find the rings are worn from the coal water. Not likley ti bent the rods but not impossiable. To see if it is the rings put a teaspoon or two of oil in each cylinder and c if the compression comes up. if so it is the rings. good luck Quote

slopoke Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 yep thats my opinion rings could be a distorted cylinder from running it through the watter. Hot motors and cold water don't mix too well Quote
