      It's called a soft seize.
      A hard seize is a scary thing and can kill you.

      I have a serious question. I went to kick start my 4 stroke and played with the tune to try and get it started. And when I kicked it smoke came out of the carb/air filter. Don’t wanna kick it again if it’s something serious. It didn’t start it when I kicked it /when the smoke came out.

    Scoring marks..only the top end ?..you mean the whole top end including the barrel?..scoring marks would indicate you need a rebore of the cylinder don't u think..150 to 180 is good on 125..180 to 240 is the range of a 250 or bigger

  • @johnh1001
    @johnh1001 2 роки тому +22

    Good Day again Sparky : If you want the compression pressure on any cylinder , the math formula is to multiply to-day's atmospheric pressure ( 14.7 psi ) X engine compression ratio ( maybe 9.5 : 1 ) . Check your owners manual for your exact comp ratio . For example 14.7 X 9.5 = 139.65 psi compression pressure on a perfectly sealed cylinder . This is the text book formula . It doesn't take into consideration the slight loss of compression due to ring gap . Bye for now from Toronto ...............

      No one knows the exact day hour /But we can see the signs events all around us. And by the timeline, Israel is 80 years and 1 generation span according to bible text will be around 2027 , which israel was declared first in 1947 + 80 years = 2027 . so we know we dont have 10 years left as this is 2022 so the rapture, then the tribulation will be before 2030 for sure.
      The rapture will happen without a doubt and it will happen much sooner than many believe (less than 10 years according to all the environmental, weather,astronomical signs ,israel timelines etc showing ). It will happen without any warning , not one , in an instant , catching masses of people off guard just like God always does, ie the flood ~ a rude awakening . No one knows the exact day or hour the rapture will happen is a certainty . THE RAPTURE CAN HAPPEN NOW at ANY TIME make no mistake !! . Please awake to Christ Jesus which is the ONLY hope NOW and dont let it be found out it IS all true later when its too late & many have been left behind in the most terrible times the earth Has Ever experienced Before and ever will...for anyone who sees this and doesnt know what to do please If anyone hasnt given their life and heart to Christ Jesus will have REAL BIG problems way bigger than any problems Ever had If left here on earth after the Rapture . After the Rapture The USA , Worldwide , will face More evils , Inner city chaos, firearm wars etc etc ,power & water , food shortages , military invasions,mass executions (yes much blood will be required by antichrist ) etctec than it Has EVER been seen Before and you surely dont want to be Here then . We Have Time NOW to change , please seek Christ Jesus while there is still time to save ! no one knows the day or hour of the rapture it will start out just like any other day and it will Take Place In the day In Broad daylight/sunny day , In an Instant FLASH without ANY warning ,& there will be peoples Driver Ids, cell phones ,wallets found in various parking lots,Purses, bill folds Found at work etc etc with NO explanation , and People VANISHING so No One can refute it has taken place. .

    For everyone watching this guy doesn't know what hes talking about!!!!!!!when a motor is siezed it means it is stuck or locked up. The easiest way to tell is if u try to move the kick starter and it doesn't budge at all, [not what this guy said his motor is just worn and might be as simple as getting a new piston and rings to fix.] A siezed motor and can happen 2 different ways 1 being a top end sieze "when the piston is frozen in the cylinder or a bottom end freeze when the crank is stuck.. Either way you can check if your kick starter won't move. A lot more serious problem then what the video tells

An smoke was coming from the left cylinder out a hole in the cylinder gills its ment to be there but also looked like it was coming out the spark plug. I did tip it on that side last time but. I know it's been getting hot an before I stopped riding it it would get hot an not cool down. Mind you i almost had it go one day blew clutch in my face an iv also drove the crap outta first one day. An it's always had a weird thing with the gears sometimes. I'm gonna go with the top ends toast. Gonna also look in my exhaust cause its trash anyhow an pull the spark. Drain the oil an see hopefully the oils good still. May have to wait to do that so I can get a new filter an cut the old one. Eh I got my fun outta it. I thought it needed a head gasket but now I'm thinking it's a tad worst than just that

    If your bike won’t kick start but it will bump start do you think it’s because it needs piston and ring?? I’ve checked spark fuel and air and I’m getting all, just seems like it doesn’t want to start on kick And my plug gets wet fast. Also my power valve tube is leaking more then usual. Do you think unburnt fuel and oil is getting by my ring ? It died in traffic one day and will only bump start. Ram strong for an entire year on my last top end rebuild.

    Thanks for your info and sharing . Other older methods are equally as good such as 1. Can you re-start ? 2. Do you feel that same compression on the kick starter as normal ? 3. If you gear down while decelerating does the bike have that same engine braking as normal ? If you've answered no to these 3 questions you most likely have a blown piston or a scored cylinder . Bye for now , I liked your video . Can you do a video about de-rusting the inside of a steel motorcycle tank ?

      ⁠@@SparkyMotoappreciate it bro. I got a cr85 I just rebuilt the top and bottom , kept the same bearings , replaced crank seals . I got the top end off offer up (wiseco) and when it starts up it smokes helllllllllla bad. Definitely not natural white smoke and looks like black oil dripping from exhaust. I read that it could be either crank seals (I definitely replaced those) or bad piston ring. I’m thinking I screwed myself by buying a supposedly new piston set on offerup but maybe the ring isn’t in the best condition for whatever reason? What could be causing the thick unnatural over strong 2stroke smoke.?💨

    If the “mechanic” is telling me a free spinning engine is seized ima tell him he’s full of shiiiii
    Mine you can’t move the kickstart or roll the bike in gear good sir that means it’s seized yours is normal wear and minimal maintenance
