booxzzy Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 i was not ragging on it either just driving along!!!!my mechanic said i probally "cooked" the rings?or the piston?no compression on left side of engine now! im also the firs time owner and i dont have much experience with engines but if burned piston is the case on one the only one side of the engine than u had an air leak. but i might be 99% wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a leakdown test to know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Did you mix your gas right? Cracked intake boot? Carb tops screwed on all the way? They don't blow up for no reason. Find that reason before you fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulvafan537240 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Get another mechanic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Your mechanic sounds like a retard. Take your wheeler back from him and take it too someone that is reputable and knows what they are doing. Having two people on doesnt make your wheeler over heat. Hell she could be 600 lbs it wont overheat if your getting air on the radiator. There is a reason it blew up and that isn't the right one.

You are not understanding what everyone here is trying to tell you. Overheating is most likely not the issue here. Tuning is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand er up Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 tuning i see i have no idea yet what the optmail tune for my banshee would be?highest elevation is 734 feet and lowest is 234 above sea level, it ran very well,untill it apparently screwed up on the right hand side! im so lost when it comes to tuning!

tedd1 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Find out for sure what went wrong and fix it. If you just replace the broken parts, you will most likely have the same issues when it is running again. At the very least, do a leak down test before taking it apart. Take some pics of the tear down and post them up. We can guess all day long but without seeing what happened, it will be just a guess.
