    Replacing trans crankcase seal

    So you guys were right, that's why I come here for advice. You guys are pro's. A month ago I made a post about a blaster I just bought with a Toomey B1 exhaust, and with a 310 jet it wouldn't run for crap, and ran much better with a 280. Haven't rode it but around the yard a few times. You guys...

    Jetting for toomey pipe

    i scored a running 01 blaster last week for my wife's Valentine's Day gift, float height was out of whack and owner couldn't figure it out, got it set up now. It has a Toomey pipe and silencer, I looked online and the kit for the pipe includes a 310 jet, which is what's in it, but it's running...

    Anyone have crank main bearing journal measurements?

    I went to put the crank back in the stator side engine case today, and it went in smooth, a hair snug but was able to do it by hand without heat (weird). So I tried the other side, and it slide right on the crank no heat. Not loose but no force at all either to slide it on. Has me a little...

    Just curious, how much pressure is in crankcase when running?

    I know when pressure testing we only use around 5-7 psi. But how much pressure does the crankcase see when running? Just curious. On a side not I got my cracked case tig welded. $40 and the guy did an awesome job. Just need to buy new dowel pins because they got slightly bent when pulling to...

    Is this repairable?

    Ok so as some of you know, i had a air leak I was tracking down, I finally narrowed it down to the counter balance shaft. So after I split the cases, I saw what looks like something steel got squished between the counter balance shaft and cases, and looking very closely it has a hairline crack...

    Crankcase seal replacement

    I ordered the tusk seal kit to fix the leaking seal on the trans side crank seal. Figured while I'm in it I'll replace the stator side too. The trans side is done and went in nice. How do I remove the seal on the stator side? And what kind of grease should I use on the seals? I used Castor...

    It has spark and fuel, not starting

    Leakdown test came out good, compression test is low at 80psi so I will do a new top end soon before riding, right now just trying to start it. The carb is cleaned and has new reeds. and it has a good strong blue spark. The only way the bike will even attempt to start is by giving it a squirt...

    Crank and bearing lifespan

    Anyone know how to tell if crank or crank main bearings are going bad? I know it depends on how you ride but what is average lifespan. What symptoms do I look out for. It's not giving me problems but just for future reference. The rod specs out fine no vertical play.

    Is it normal for reeds not to sit flat on cage?

    I performed a leakdown test on my blaster yesterday and found I had a small crack in my intake boot, when I pulled it off I also noticed the reeds are not sitting completely flat on the reed cage. Unlike my dirt bikes these blaster seems to have an outer reed and smaller paddles on top of that...
