jasonsb Posted November 6, 2003 Report Posted November 6, 2003 This past glamis trip I noticed that one pipe smokes like hell...and at the end of my trip, that same pipe is full of oil on the silencer and front of pipe near head. Could a piston ring be busted? My plugs look good on both sides. Will a compression test tell if a piston ring is gone? Quote

Definately check it out...A chipped reed petal could also make it run richer on one side. I've also seen old plugs do the same though. Put new plugs and they smoke evenly..... Quote
boonman Posted November 7, 2003 Report Posted November 7, 2003 Is this by chance the right (clutch/PTO side?) If it is, and you are losing tranny oil I think you may have a smoked crank seal and it is sucking tranny oil into the motor. if not, pull the top end to see what is up... Quote
jasonsb Posted November 7, 2003 Author Report Posted November 7, 2003 Yes it is the right side by the clutch cover. Damm...is this serious enough to have to fix right away? What has to be done to fix it? The top end looks o.k. I took the jugs off to do some more porting and the pistons look a little black but are still smooth. Quote
