Got towed in yesterday :(

I went out to the little dunes here in town with a buddy yesterday, I burnt through almost and full tank of gas and a fair bit of nitrous then the bike started missing, it blubbered for roughly 20 seconds the died.

Still has tons of compression but wont fire for shit, it almost feels electrical.

I havent pulled it to pieces yet but im figuring its either melted the plug, broke the reeds or a wire shorted or disconnected.

Reeds are good, plug is heavily fouled but sparking, im gonna have a cup o tea then check the wiring.

I think I might have just fould a plug

I dont really see how as it was WOT a ton

Nope

I pulled the stator to swap it out for a good one and noticed the crankseal is at a weird angle, im gonna swap it and then try the good stator.

I had a seal in the bottom of my tool box so I went ahead and swapped it to be on the safe side.

dude thats like finding a old marlboro under the couch when your flat broke. whats the chances of that hapening again

Thats one good think about parting out a couple of 500s, you tend to amass parts

britincali · Post by **britincali** » June 16th, 2008, 5:24 pm

I really dont think its down to jetting, the motor has always run clean and I was pretty much balls to the wall WOT when it took a dump.

Im thinking the stator took a dump due to the temp, then when it cooled down sparked again.

Ill get her back together this week and see if its back to normal

Ya know, he didn't say it was a new seal.

It was a new one

After 40 hours of wrenchin'...... Brit tossed in a new plug, fired 2nd kick....

ATTENTION KIDS!!!!!!!

britincali · Post by **britincali** » June 23rd, 2008, 8:35 am

I just stripped everything to make sure the piston din't crack again

It was the first time Ive ever fouled a plug in a CR500 tho

I fouled one once.. but i dont think the 205 main had anything to do with it LOL

britincali · Post by **britincali** » June 23rd, 2008, 4:43 pm

Found out today my nitrous solenoid wont open at anything over 850 psi even when direct wired to a 13.2v battery, that explains the fouled plug

all fuel and no nitrous
