sure , so that way my arms will be worn out before it has a chance to load up. you know how taxing that thing is. i do a lot of hill climbing i need the ball when i hit the throttle. i go for no run at all at the biggest hill i can find. you know what i mean.itll climb anything as ling as the juice is there. climbing hills with congestion doesnt give the dominating feeling that bike should give. i will say if i clear it out ,then as long as i stay on it it doesnt load up. but id like to breathe every now and then. i know im running out of options .but somethings gotta give.
Foxx4Beaver:
is it mysteriously losing gearbox oil by any chance?
b4himdude:
you know its strange you should ask that. the other day i had to add a little bit of gear oil. but i didnt see any leaks. so i put in about an eighth of a quart and wondered if i really had it that low before or what. good question. but its not leaking out the case. so you think maybe i have a poor seal between the cases in the combustion area causing the oil to foul the plug as it mixes with the premix. so split the cases and ensure a better seal between the halves in that area? maybe? actually i rebuilt the other case this one i just redid the top end and water pump seal because it was losing antifreeze into the transmission when i got it.looks like ill be doing a little wrenching and popping this top on the other bottom tomorrow and putting it on .then ill have to investigate this case. is that what your thinking?
Foxx4Beaver:
clutch side crank seal.
this was why I said it wouldn't hurt to do a leak down test back in the beginning like sandblaster mentioned.
sandblaster:
I love splitting cases :-o
