Air leaks

Ilikebikes._ · Jul 15, 2017

My bike has bad seals all over it but the exhaust gasket is the worst. does a leak in that seal cause the engine to rev like theres an air leak. It spits out oil and stuff there too and it burns my leg.

what reason would you have for not fixing every one of those leaks???

im pretty sure a leak in the exhaust gasket can cause a lean condition

How do you fix the leaks is it because it’s crappy cardboard gaskets? Do the copper gaskets work?

The cardboard gaskets work fine if you soak them in 2stroke oil. Copper head gaskets work and can be reused. I use an o2 sensor gasket for the exhaust.
