roosthrower Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 My shee is firing on the right cylinder only until you rev it to the moon. When the left cylinder does fire, it shoots flames out of the silencer. It justed started doing this today. I don't have a clue what's wrong. I changed out my plugs, ran a compression test, and I don't know what else to check. Someone help please. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 hmm, ive heard of backfireing and running on one cylinder but never flames, maybe ur carb is messed up...all i can think of Quote
roosthrower Posted March 7, 2004 Author Report Posted March 7, 2004 I just repacked my silencers. Maybe that has something to do with the flames. Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 Did you put a new o-ring on the pipes? If it's shooting flames, it's got an airleak in the exhauset...also could mean your dumping a shit load of gas into that cylinder. Repacking won't cause that... Unless you got fiberglass plugging up the pipe. Quote
Amstaff Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 check your top end last time mine did that the whole left side was toast pistons rings jug and domes! hope thats not your problem its pricey im still gettin parts to fix mine! Quote
cb67rs1 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 change your plugs , if that dont help clean your carbs, your pilots could be stopped up Quote
Wassup350 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 Will the exhaust not sealed well cause any loss of power?? because mine was never really sealed to good and i know that it leaks out where it connects to the engine. What should i use to seal is up??? Could i get something from napa to fix this? Quote
banshee04le Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 Hey Wassup, your officially not a rookie anymore. Whats it like way up there? Must be nice. Sounds like you need new o-rings. Use high temp silicone (I like the gold permatex) in conjuction with new o-rings and you should be good to go. Quote
MotulMonsta Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 A little leakage is going to happen. Inside the pipe is an o-ring. If that's not there you could damage your exhaust mount from excess vibration. If it isn't pissing and backfiring I wouldn't worry too much. Carbon is always going to blow out there. Quote
rebelbanshee2 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 sounds to me like the backfireing side is lean. id check the carbs for a clogged jet Quote
PyRo_ZaCh Posted March 7, 2004 Report Posted March 7, 2004 it was happening to me, was'nt alot of flames just one puff (when it backfired) switched plugs and the problem switched sides, got new plugs and it went away... Quote
roosthrower Posted March 9, 2004 Author Report Posted March 9, 2004 I'm such a dumbass. When is was jetted my carbs (went down from 360's to 300's because the 360's were way rich) I forgot to put the tube back on between the 2 carbs. The flames were from the new packing that I just changed. Now it runs better than ever with the smaller mains and the freshly repacked silencers. Quote
Amstaff Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 woot grats man glad it wasnt anything major Quote
MILO Posted March 9, 2004 Report Posted March 9, 2004 i was gonna say you should change your name to flamethrower, but since it's fixed, i guess you're roosthrower again. Quote
