oil problem help!

[tdog]

I put in new oil, oil filter, spark plug and gas.  Took it for a spin. It would run full power for 2 seconds then no power on and off.  I came back to my house and it had fuel in the oil AGAIN. This is really making me mad. The rites of spring is in a few weeks and I wanna go.  Someone help please

float stuck open? was there alot of smoke when it ran?

[tdog]

Not a whole lot of smoke. Just the first revs.  It seemed to get quite hot for a 1/2 mile drive

Do you think I need to clean my carb?

Guess I don't know what type of compression test you did, because when I do them the fitting for the compression tester goes where the spark plug is.

Gas you mean?  You could get gas in the oil if your floats are stuck or your needle valves are bad and your bowl drain tubes are clogged.  After setting for that long you should have changed the oil before you ran it anyway.  I suggest you change the oil, run a few extra quarts through to flush it, and then refill with a new filter.  Run it for a bit and see if the issue returns.  I'd also clean those carbs well after setting that long.

Yes, I do think you should clean the carbs.

Thanks man. Should they get new needles? When I gun it, it bogs down and backfires.

Well... now the engines not even running

Got engine running. It runs okay but if your at idle and gun it, it bogs down and backfires. If u ease it up its not bad

Parking Brake and Reverse rev limiter check time.

I would seriously try running some Seafoam through it. Pour the right amount in the gas tank and go hammer on it. I'm almost certain it will clear its self out.

I've told three people at work to try this and it worked for everyone of them.


Has the bike been sitting for a while?

+1 parking brake sensor unplug that sucka. follow the wire from the left handlebar down to behind left headlight. youll find the plug there. easy one to check.

[tdog]

Sorry for the many dumb questions and excessive posts... anyway thanks to all of you my raptoe is running strong. But one last question, is it normal for the exhaust pipes to glow orange after a little but of driving? Again, thanks
