    Hey there, Can having a loose exhaust pipe cause low compression?

    • @octaneaddiction1405
      @octaneaddiction1405  3 роки тому +2

      This shouldn't cause any compression issues but it may lower exhaust back pressure

      If it is a two stroke you will get no power at all with a loose exhaust bend, but with a 4 stroke it is just bad for the exhaust valve

      It could be your cylinder has some big scratches in it or it could be you have the wrong size piston and or rings

      Octane Addiction The piston and rings is the right size and there is no scoring in the jug! Could it be because I didn’t drill holes in the piston?

      @@Euroversity I've never heard of drilling holes in a piston but the only other things I can think is maybe the spark plug isn't sealed or you have a bad head gasket

    '4 stokes don't lose compresstion as quick.'
    What are you even talking about.
    It won't be you air filter as much, more like not enough oil in the fuel. it should be a 40 to 1 mix of petrol to oil. but I would do a 30 to 1, if you are losing compresstion
    Also check your piston rings and head gasket. They could be worn. Check the squash washer on the spark plug
    2 stokes do not rev higher, they just have a higher pitch.
    The only reason you keep needing to get new top ends is because you do not put enough oil in.
    Get a 4 Stoke, may be more expensive but the engine lasts a lot longer.

    • @octaneaddiction1405
      @octaneaddiction1405  5 років тому +4

      2 strokes do rev higher depending on size of engine.
      I haven't bought a top end yet.
      it very well could be the air filter that makes your engine lose compression if you dont maintain it.
      I run 32/1 oil gas mix in all my 2 strokes.
      If you know everything why are you watching this video?

      2 strokes rev high cause they only have a crank for rotation assembly not cam,rocker arms,cam etc

      E&A Green you know why they have more power? The company’s spend a lot more money doveloping then. If it was the other way around and they were putting the same effort into 2 strokes then they would make more power then 4 strokes

    my 97 kx randomly looses compression after like 10 kicks and gains it back right after, i have no fuckin clue what it is because i just sent it off for a top end and a bottom a few months ago and only put like 3 hours on it

      To test if the water pump works you can take off your radiator cap and start the bike. If you see the coolant moving a little bit than it works

  • @SimplyMage19
    @SimplyMage19 4 роки тому

    And fyi the number 1 reason that the top end goes is because it overheated in 2 stroked because of the high rpm, 4 stroked also loose compression due to valve issues and or carb issues, depends how you maintain
