What's leaking?

[baddsheee]

I know it's not tranny oil because my oil on the dip stick is still light brown. The oil that is leaking is very dark. I think it is leaking from the exhaust, wondering if the shearers aren't in properly. I'm mixing at 40:1 (927), it leaks out of the silencers a bit onto my 6 pack rack. Is it known for the shearers to leak from the cylinders?

Took it on a 30-35 mile ride yesterday and it still runs hard.

 

Here are some picks. Need some help

Did you install new o rings? I have sheares too, and they dont do that.

I'm not 100% sure but I think I did, I purchased them new and I remember they came with orings for the stingers. They're only 3 months old.

There isn't any orings in or they are the wrong ones.

Looks like the o-rings to me, I just replaced mine and it cleared up.

Thanks, I'll be picking up some new o-rings from Shearer next week. Does anyone suggest a different oil mixture than 40:1. I feel like trying 50:1, what do you guys think?

i run 50:1 with klotz. your orings gotta be bad or wrong to be blowing that much oil out. make sure your jetting is right on too..

yep, it's your head pipe o-rings. my pipes used to leak like that on my cub cylinders. the ones that come with the shearers are slightly thinner than they should be. i bought a set of o-rings from Jeff at FAST and the problem went away, http://www.farmandsandtoys.com/partdetail.asp?partid=94

they fit tight so they are some what of a bitch to get on but they work. with a little 2 stroke oil and some ass they go on.

for some reason the new shearers have been doing that... mine , Polish , you and a few other peoples all have done it... polish called matt and he told him to get some hi temp silicon and run a bead in th pipe ... but it still did it on his...

This kind of sucks, another issue I have is that the stinger is leaking through the weld of the part that connects to the silencer. Then the left pipe hitting the head, which I had to use like a dozen washers. Now this leaking at the cylinders, WTF :shoothead: .

 

Also chrome is statring to chip ::

yea the chronming on shearers blow... and pretty much everyone has to shim the left pipe.. you would think with this being a common problem matt would shift his jig to fix it but i guess not... you might call them about your weld leaking... they should fix that for you...
