Blowing?

[skatefreak]

Hey,

Okay, i'm sure some of you are familiar with the problems i'm having with the old engine lol.

Idling okay and can ride the bike up the road whilst the engine is still cold but once warmed up its a no go...

Soooo, after doing pretty much everything imaginable with the carb (without changing jets as the bike ran fine before so i dont think the jets re-sized themselves lol) i'm looking at the exhaust

The exhaust end can blows pretty freely out the side where the carbon bits meet the end caps...

Could this cause problems with the engine that seem like mixture issues?

Any thoughts would be much appreicated

Best regards

If it's blowing freely out the side is it also blowing out the end? If not it could be blocked

It blows out the back and forwards out the gap about the same really.

When i put my hand over the back it comes out the side and hand around the side it comes out the back more...

I'm just curious as to weather anyone thinks having exhaust blowing out randomly from the can would effect the running of the engine much, its one thing that i think has degraded over time and therefore may be the source of or a contributing factor to the bike not running properly...

Best regards

is this at the can? or the head?

at the can shouldn't effect much

the manifold/head would be leaking gaskets

Just changed the head gaket, it seems to be just fine, engine side of the exhaust seems fine its just the can, am thinking it might reduce the back pressure to the engine, but its not a 2 stroke so i dont know if its as important

Hmmm,

will keep on slaving away though...

Cheers for the input.
