Is splitting the cases necesery to replace the crankseals? Sometimes it blows oil out the breather tube on the crank. Plus I have never replaced either seals.

Does anyone know of a good machine shop that specializes in two strokes around the Birmingham Alabama area?

BTW. The old piston before this one had a few little jagged edge on the bottom if intake side. Like if it were hitting on something? Does thus mean the cylinder needs chaferd??

Second topend rebuild obviously "honed" it to much with three blade spring honer. Shoulda gone larger on piston bc it showed signs of blow by. Any way I put a standered size piston back in it. Had great high rpm power but not much low end off the pipe power. Lot of clutch slipin to get in power...

I run amsoil dominator synthetic. Would 40:1 work better. Last time I ran 32:1 it smoked badly and started havin lean issues and caused all these problems. I'f I'm already running lean and add more oil(32:1) wouldn't that be less gas per oil and cause the bike to run leaner?

The top corner on intake side of piston has small hole worn into it. The bottom ring appears to have gotten clipped by the intake port. The ring will rotate freely around the piston, that little pin that keeps the Ring in place was missing? The bottom of the piston skirt has little chips in...

doesnt really smoke at all, always ran synthetic at 50-1. thats it though as u say " feels like theres a load on it until u hit the power band. i got to check the compression, i kinda was thing rebuild time anyway. its been two years on this piston and rings.

No power at all in first gear when taking off on a hill, Unless u rev it up into the powerbnad then slip the heal out the clutch. But once your going and your "on the pipe" It is very snapy at any throttle pos, it runs like a screaming 2 stroke should. But the second u let it drop off the pipe...

this makes so much sense! other then visualy looking at connectors how else can i check this theory?

fliped the reed pedals, cleaned the carb very well. i removed all jets blew through them and used guitar string. checked float level its good and its not sticking. the slide moves freely and the needle is fine with both washers on ontop and under needle clip. needle clip is on 3. 310 main jet...

removing the tors and pbrake was first thing i did. it acts the same, no change at all. my reeeds dont look to bad but they are about three years old. they are the boysen dual reeds and i did notice they have a small gap between the reed cage. could reeds be causing these symptons?

here are a few symptoms.... will start up and idle fine, and will rev up at any given throttle fine with no bog or hesatasin. throttle comes right back down without hangin up like an air leak does. but when u put it in gear and ease off the clutch and barly gas it it acts like its going to...

A leaky cank case seal would(could) give symptoms of what you describe. As far as the black plug goes....32:1 always smothers my plugs.

Stay at 32:1 mixture, and lean out your jets one circuit at a time untill your plugs get browner. And a new air filter wouldn't hurt either.

Stock pipe will have "mad" power loss
