Just picked up a 07 the other day. I know nothing about it other than it supposedly has a rebuilt engine with 100kms, it still had half a tank of 40:1. Smelled like full synthetic in the oil tank, and I put a half a jug of brp semi-syn in there. I did mix a little oil in with the gas as well, prob a 100:1 ratio. I also re-sealed the y-to-pipe donut as it was leaking oil a bit.
On my first ride today, 5km in started to sputter and generally run like crap above 5000rpm. Turned around after about 10km and came home. I should add that it seemed to get a little better by the bottom.
I found a pretty loose hose on the mag side solenoid (mounted on carb) and no hose on the clutch side solenoid.
Pics might not be too good, but the valves were covered in as sludge-like goo which looks to me like there might be moisture in there. The 0-rings seemed good, no seepage. Tops of pistons are clean.
So wtf?Seems like waaay to much oil....Should I clean everything, drain the tank and just run straight gas?
Oil consumption seems normal....It has a timbersled intake if that makes any diffence. The needle is lowered a clip, and it has a shim. Plugs slightly fouled.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, gonna try again tommorow.
