Whats up guys, This is my first post but ive been lurking and reading a lot of good info on this site for a while.
I purchased this blaster back in November knowing it needed a new top end and some other small things. So i went ahead and put a new piston , rings and honed out the cylinder. In the process i was messing around with the oil feed and turns out it was being ran without it hooked up to the carb. So i went ahead and blocked off the oil feed. I started it up and ran ok but smoked like crazy, was leaking oil out of exhaust and was burning the trany oil.
So i changed out the main seal on the clutch side and still burned oil. At this point i decided to go ahead and do a leak test, It would not even build 1 psi.
I tore down the cases and found 2 very big chunks of aluminum and the cases cracked. So looked like im going to try and weld the cases i have done some tig welding but not much. Anyone have any other ideas besides welding to fix the holes?
Turns out the 450$ for this bike was not such a good deal after all. Not that ive finished boring everyone let me say ive gotten most of my info from this forum and has been a great resource keep the good work.
Thanks,
Austin
