I'm sorry your bike is acting up...I really have no idea what it could be, I don't have much experience with 2 strokes...but someone will be able to help...just sit tight

NO NO NO NO ether!!! youll blow your bottomend gaskets out & youll then have to pull your motor apart & replace them. how much "oil" (its called spooge on here its a gas oil mix) is it spraying? what premix ratio are you running?

Sounds like its running rich. Make sure you have the right jets for the bore that was done. If thats whats in then might need to be leaned. I'd also make sure your plug is good, have a clean air filter and some properly mixed gas.

I never heard of this. I know starting fluid deteriates gaskets though.

For one I think the Main Crank seals are blown, hence the extra spooge. Second the carb is plugged and yer not getting fuel past the needle and seat. I think the jets are probably all gunked up, and the needle on the slide may be loose as the clip may have come off or it was installed into its keeper incorrectly.

Ya gotta clean that carb like its your mom's house after U throw a keg-party---------spotless inside and out, and dont miss 1 single piece.

elk um once the seals start to detireorate they will  blow out from the compression in the lower end of the motor. i have seen sleds actually blow a sectoin of the gasket out so i know it can happen

no more of the air pressure coupled with the the detireorated gaskets then they fail i havent ever seen a bike go boom but i have seen a sled actualy go pffff & blow out a chunk of gasket never all the way though just enough for the bottom end to burn up

check & make sure the air filter is clean get a new plug dont clean it replace it. motor ice is a type of coolant i believe. how much spooge is it spraying?

i got puddles of it on the garage floor after running it for about a couple minutes and its got a new plug and the guy i got it off of it fell over in his garage and knocked a hole in the left side radiator and like if you go to kick it down rite away it dont turn over but if you ease the kick starter down about 3 time then give a kick it turns over
