tnr Posted March 22, 2008 Report Posted March 22, 2008 I am having a little trouble here. I just got some T5's and put them on. Shee started up no problem and was idleing fine. As soon as I give her some throttle the left side seems to fire every other stroke. I have switched the wires around, changed plugs, checked pickup coil clearance, compression test (184 right, 182 left), cleaned carbs and jets, and checked float height. When I pull the plugs the right side looks fine, but the left is wet. I put my hand at the back of the exhaust, and it turns oily on the left side. Keep in mind this is only when I give it throttle. I have the 30mm oko carbs with a 158 main and a 50 pilot with the needle on the third clip. I have done a search, but it seems that everyone of them leads to a try this or that and noone ever repies back to what their problem was. Thanks in advance for the help. Quote
tnr Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Posted March 22, 2008 OK, I just got done swapping carbs around and the problem was still there on the left side. I am beginning to think crankcase seal, but the oil smells like the two stroke mix, not crankcase oil. Pulled out the reeds and they seem fine. No cracks, chips or anything. I am at a rock and a hard spot. Wait, I am here looking at my reeds right now, and it seems like oneside doesnt seat all the way. Hopefully this is my problem, being that we are supposed to go on a four day trip to Winchester Bay. That would explain too much fuel in the combustion chamber. I will let you now how it goes, and in the mean time I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Quote
tnr Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Posted March 23, 2008 Luckily it was the reeds after all. The one side wasnt seating all the way, got it to seat good and shee runs great. Quote
