SPITTING OUT COOLANT?

[easyrider470]

Ok.....just a little history quickly so you're up to speed......last year the bike ran great all desert season...NO ISSUES.....last trip it overheates and I melt the left piston....so I have Kevin at her jugs re-build the motor he bored it slightly to clean up the cylinder walls and split the cases to weld the crank.........checked the head it was still true.....everything panned out just fine.

So i take it out last saturday and ride for about 30 minutes and sure enough the damn thing is spewing out coolant through the overflow tube......not boiling hot coolant but just spitting it out as I ride through the overflow.....

so i put it on the trailer......take it all apart when i get home and there apears to be nothing wrong...nothing obvious.....i had the radiator checked out and they said it flowed fine.....but the cap was bad.....wouldn't hold any pressure....i re-installed it....filled up the radiator started the bike and right off the bat it started spitting out coolant.......i figured it was just a little over filled so i put the cap on and let the bike get warm....took it up the street and back a couple times and it was pissing out coolant....not a crap load but a steady drip......any time yuou rev it the thing spit out coolant........it'll idle and drip coolant out the overflow tube......the impellar spins when you kick the bike so i don't think that's it.......does anyone have any idea what the hell is wrong with this freaking bike.......it's driving me crazy???????????????

your head isnt true or you have a blown head gasket... had the same problem a couple months ago...

But the motor was just apart and the head was verified to be true.........the coolant isn't burnt or anything, just coming out the overflow......this is the first time the bike has ran since the re-build.....head was verified to be true.

You can bring it over to me and we can check it out. Didn't I sell you a modified stock head for that bike? Did we put it on when I did the rebuild for you?

Its a pain but has to be a simple problem. Its a simple system.

yes, it's a shaved head.....but I had it on there a long time ago...the first time it blew up.....you told me that you checked it out and it was good after you did the re-build?????? i'm thinking that it could be some of the problem?????

I did check it. We will have to look at it again along with everything else. I know you are frustrated but these things happen and we can get it fixed. Its hard troubleshooting over the phone. Bring it over.

you got it.....i'm just going to bring the whole bike.....we can take a look at it together........with it running and all that good stuff then we'll make a call on what we think it is.

It'll be Friday afternoon......you take early fridays right????? HAHA let me know what time friday works for you...i'll have most of the afternoon wide open.
