time for the good old RIP ER APPART!!

[Guest]

ok so today i rode the bike roughly 60 mi round trip and the bike was making a odd gurgling noise the whole time but i know its not the crabs because their is oil on top of the crank casing in drips under the carbs ??
i am guessing a blown piston ring? any thoughts on what else may have caused this because the bike need a complete overhual anyway lol

also i have an 80-82 model tank for sale or trade for a 78 model tank

i will be posting many many many pics up on photo bucket for those who like details only about50% of the pics will make it to the forms

That's not it.

Tell me about the '80 tank please.

[Reaper0001]

then what is it and i will send ya a pm about the tank ok it has a hack paintjob on it and a fairly significant dent in it

[Reaper0001]

help on this problem would be good before i buy a complete rebuild kit
i need to know every scenario before i just say screw it and start wrenching and labeling it all
bike was running fine until 2 days ago when it started running like DOOKY and not wanting to go without lots of throttle as if it all of a sudden got way to rich
it is giving all the signs of a blown piston ring but i dont know i could be wrong

my GS850 performed the same way, smoked ridiculously too, no idea what the problem was as I had just gotten my madura and didn't troubleshoot it, I degreased the motor to hell though but never found out exactly where it was leaking.

i have check it all out took off the crabs took of the pipes found oil inside of both on cylinder #4 thanks

[Reaper0001]

As far as leaks on top of the crankcase, check your cam chain tensioner, they often leak. All mine did on my '82 GS1100EZ.
It's this thingy sticking out behind the cylinders over the crankcase and under the carb boots with that (knob) wheel on it. Feel for oil on the bottom.

Do a compression test CHECK the oil for gas. The crankcase may be full of gas re the dripping out of the breather caused by bad petcock and bad carb float needles

That was my thought how is your oil level? If you bike is overfull of oil and is really full of gas it would run like that. Also as in your first post maybe it is a STD, because I have never seen a bike with CRABS

[Reaper0001]

the spark plug threads have oil on them and the exhaust pipe has oil in it its gotta be ither a ring or a cracked cylinder

Hey that's one fie finish to your engine there sedelen. Pray tell me what you did to make it look like that. Vapour blasting?

See my blog to see who mine looks now:

OK has anyone removed the block from the frame by their self i need help figuring out how to do that!
i need to get it out of the bike before i start to remove it

You'll pull it out from the right side; many many threads on here about doing it - some manhandle it out, others lay the bike down, still others rig up something.
