    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I just replaced the stator and had a bitch of a time with that, cracked the crankcase cover a little near one of the bolts. I am going to just try and jb weld it real good and see how that turns out but for some reason when you rev the engine and let off the throttle it will rev back up by itself to about 3500/4000 rpm. Any ideas why this is happening?
 
Throttle cable pinched somewhere? Does it make a difference if you trun the bars left or right? Did it do this before replacing the stator?
 
Intake leak is most likely causing the high idle. Check the carb manifolds for cracks and such. If they are the bolt on type manifolds the o-rings behind them need to be replaced. Carbs could have bad o-rings in them too.

As for the crank in the cover, are you talking about the stator cover itself? If so the stator cover doesn't get much oil in it. If the crack isn't on the bottom of the cover I doubt it will leak. Clean the hell out of it and use some sort of epoxy to fill the crack.
 
i had the same problem with my 450...i took the boots between the motor and the carbs off and the o-rings were shot...so replace those and possibly u will need to go ahead and rebuild the carbs while you have them off. should fix the problem
