hi gang
sorry I've been away but I've needed more memory to use Netscape 6 to access this new site.
anyway the other day I installed a new power valve, started it and it ran fine, smoke was coming out of the exhaust
like normal so I shut it down without riding it. (My bike injects engine oil via an injector pump).
Today I rode 3 blocks, stopped for a little gas, then a few blocks down the road it seized. I wasn't even screaming
the engine but I was riding agressively. restarted it and slowly rode back. dissasembled to find wide seizure on the
intake side of the piston (almost
new with almost new rings). Piston was coated with gray sludge (aluminum/oil mix).
Crank is still good from the new bearings and seals installed weeks earlier.
Nothing was changed except I turned out the idle air screw 1/4 turn to idle stronger.
Any ideas? Anyone know how to check for proper operation of an oil injector? (I know it's putting out oil but I don't know if it's enough)
