2003 Suzuki LTZ 400 washed rings?


Recommended Posts

anyone ever wash rings out?

bike went from running completly fine to crank no start! bike has good spark, new plug with a known good swapped coil; no air restrictions, and plenty of fuel/starting fluid! haven't checked compression but with valve cover off and spark plug tight! i can watch cobustion smoke come up through the crankcase while cranking!!! so something ring or piston wise is going on! bike has always ran fine mechanically and never had engine issues!!!! and i mean never!lol now this is all after a fairly long periodic crank with choke on and off from crank to crank!!! this is why i think i may have lost ring seat but not sure if anyone's had this issue this way?

- now for the one thing that has worked,

i took spark plug back out and proceeded is if i were doing a wet compression test!

(about a half a pint of oil in the hole!), mixed in with a decent dose of starting fluid down in the hole,lol, put plug back in, cranked it;:aargh: FIRED AND RAN FOR BOUT THREE SECONDS;UNTIL MIXTURE WAS BURNED! the bike literally sounded like a 250ex lol

very low compression run.....

......... does this sound like washed out rings or does anyone have diff. thoughts? if so are there any easy remedies for a fix! by all means not one bit affraid to put a set in but just figuered i'd ask!!!!! thanks for any help!!!!!!!

-Frank
