Message: [QUOTE="Magellan, post: 1433468, member: 22253"] I just remebered one more thing that may be pertinent. when I disassembled the top end, the piston and cylinder had a pretty good coating of oil on them. It was pretty thick and a dark grey color. I suppose it is possible that it is the tranny oil, though I don't seem to be missing any that is noticeable. I also recall noticeing a lot of smoke coming from the pipe when I looked back to check on my son. I thought maybe it was just too rich on the mixture, but now I'm starting to think it was burning the tranny oil. Could a right side crank seal leak cause a loss of compression/power? I'll put it back together and do a leak down test, but as always, appreciate any input from the forum. [/QUOTE]
