Gikki44 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Ok, so after figuring out that the person before me had the crank seal on the right side backwards and assuming that was the problem I have done a fresh rebuild. The gear oil is no longer burning up however the loss of powerband has not improved whatsoever. The right pipe still smokes a bit of gray only after really rippin on it for a couple minutes and the left side seems to be missing quite a bit and im thinking this is the cause of the power loss. Now i just cannot figure out where else to look to fix this. I'[ve tried new plugs and larger mains thinking it was a lean condition. The plugs are not wet anymore but a slight brown/black on both. But the left side tailpipe is dry and the right is quite wet. My next guess would be something along the spark line. What do ya think. I also just noticed that the voltage regulator is supposed to have a ground wire to it and the only wire i see is the blue. Coming out of the same harness is a ground wire with a ring connector on it that is not attached to anything but the regulator is mounted to the chassis so that should ground it correct? I could really use some help here cuz i've about had it with this damn thing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gikki44 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Thats what im trying to figure out. The carbs are synced and i changed the mains to 240. When i pull the carbs there is fuel in them and the reeds too. I thought for sure it was going to be because of the bad crank seal. Now the plugs are not wet anymore but it is def not firing correctly. I can hear and feel the left cylinder popping and cutting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Might take a while to burn excess oil out of right pipe, might want to "wash" it out. Might have lots of oil in that side crank case too. Try swapping plug wires ,trimming plug wires to fresh wire. My son's shee I pulled flwheel ,cleaned poles on stator ,inside of wheel , lugs on outside ,set pick-up gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gikki44 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 i just did a fresh rebuild of the motor so everything got cleaned pretty well. Its def something else. I think i might try a new coil pack or start with bigger mains and new spark plug caps. I have no idea what else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gikki44 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Now that i've done some searching im thinking i need to check my pick up coil gap. I never changed or checked anything when i put it back together. Would this possibly cause the loss of powerband and it running shitty? How exactly do i check and adjust the gap. The manual isnt too extensive on the description? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee2000 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 i just used a business card to gap mine just make sure that the higher spot on the fly wheel is at the pick up coil to set it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gikki44 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 OK im gonna check the gap on the pick up and also i cannot get a solid reading on my plug caps. Its lookin like they could use a change also. I imagine this could cause it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
