Help!! Here's my Mods..Fresh top end build 66mm Wiseco pistons,T5's,CoolHead 22cc domes,stock timing,stock Crank,BR8 plugs,stock Carbs,stock reeds,91 octane ..32:1 castor 927 mix. Broke in the build B4 heading to GLAMIS it ran fine no issues.. then in GLAMIS while dunning it goes WOT! Shuts off ..came home to a hole on my left piston & a hole starting to form on my right piston..what gives!!

Holes in pistons I have seen are usually too much timing. If your ground strap has the blue haze/ burn past half way on the bend of the elbow or closer to the base than the tip then turn the timing back. It could very well be lean as well. I'm surprised you didn't notice any detonation problems or have your plugs fall out before the holes. Cast pistons?

if you said it had plently of fuel in it and suddenly it just started to rev up on its own then it was an air leak. leaned the shit out of your bike and melted a hole in your pistons. This is a common problem with air leaks....this is why we have info on how to build leak down testers so ensure that our motors dont eat pistons.

 

BEFORE you tear it down.......although i bet you did to find the holes.......you should always do a leak down test and a compression test. This can let you know little facts that can help you diagnose and find reasonings as to why things happened.

Yeah no problem chris. Im just saying instead of wasting ur time asking people and waiting for a reply should it not be common sense or common knowledge to first do a leakdown and Or check your compression? Obviously theres deto from something. After that being said why waste the time? I understand some people are new but i suck at this banshee stuff and i know that. Plus i was just trying to bring a little dry humor to the thread sorry for wasting a little bit more time. Not trying to start a huge argument just saying if i look at my pistons and see holes through them my first move isnt gunna be to get on here and wait for responses. I hope u get the problem figured out and im sorry if i hurt anybodys feeling it is not my intention. (i found a .gif website so ive been looking for any reason to throw them in somewere personally i think its funny but could just be childish humor)
