Leadfoot350 Posted October 26, 2004 Report Posted October 26, 2004 I was at glamis last weekend and the bike was running great after I droped the needle clip to the last spot and put a 215 main jet on the 2-1 carb. I might be changing my mind about that set up but I would like to try a bigger main and eek needle. Well we went on a night ride and my bike would only fire on one the left side and smoke a LOT on the right. I thought I fauled a plug but that did not work. When I got home I took it apart and the right piston had some marks on it so I will need to get another set. I think it was because a previous time the spark plug porsilin fell out and I did not wash out the case so there was still stuff in it. Well then today I noticed that there was fluid on the bottom of the right cylinder case and for all I can tell is that it is tranny oil. I am not 100% sure but it looks and almost smells the same. I want to know if this is possible and why did it happen? Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted October 27, 2004 Report Posted October 27, 2004 If you have a bad crank seal on the clutch side you can suck oil into the right side. hope this helps. Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Posted October 27, 2004 Well I will tell you what happended in a couple of hours if no one bothers me. Quote

Leadfoot350 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Posted October 27, 2004 ok heres the update. Some how the right crank seal got grinded up by I think the gear next to it. That seal is made of rubber and metel so there is crap everywhere. I split the cases to match port the transfers and weld the crank and did not put in new seals so maybe that was my problem. Do I need a new crank bearing now? Quote

Leadfoot350 Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Posted October 28, 2004 The right bearing got chewed up too and almost slip apart. All the balls were not round anymore. Going to Rudy Kurtz to have him check it out. Who knows maybe the crank will be bad and I will have to get a +4. Just waiting for a trip where it does not blow up. Quote
