BansheeBoy17 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 Well my quad died in the middle of a race sunday, I landed a jump and it was like teh key got shut off or something. I tried starting it and it sounded like it wanted to start, it would fire for a half second then die, but never run. We cleaned the carbs , checked spark, all that was fine. Then we checked compression and it blew our fingers off the plug holes, so we thought it was fine, but I got home and pulled the head off and saw a scratch so I pulled the whole jug off and found this. I also found coolant in my left pipe. I think this is why.... and I have a question... would low compression cause the gears to be really short and wind out fast? Quote
trex banshee Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 ohman i hate to see that, hope you get it all worked out and the way you explain it it sounds like you clutch is slipping if you rev high and your gears are short. Quote
locogato11283 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 holy shit those are deep...might be better off gettin some cylinders... Quote
suzuki0702 Posted October 17, 2005 Report Posted October 17, 2005 wow ive never seen the circlip come out like that..makes u wonder where that went. hope u get her fixed Quote
BansheeBoy17 Posted October 17, 2005 Author Report Posted October 17, 2005 Are wrist pins like SUPER strong or something? because I looked at them today and they had NO wear watsoever on them, but the ends match up to be the perfect side of the grooves in the cylinder walls. I guess what im tryin to say is .. can wrist pins own some cylinder walls ? Quote
BdBanshee Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 Cylinder sleeves are made of cast iron, much softer than the hardened steel wrist pin. Quote
ozosborne Posted October 18, 2005 Report Posted October 18, 2005 That's sad to see man! I suppose the bright side is that you can modify now. Quote
