Smoking Yamaha moto 250
Oh yea I was getting 12.25 from those but when I cranked it the minimum voltage read that for some reason I guess I’m not really 100 percent sure how to do the record feature but it was reading 12 when it was off And I’ll clean up the switch -

You should have 12 volts on the red wire going to the keyswitch, when you turn the keyswitch on voltage goes to the start button when you press the button sends voltage to the starter to rotate the engine. If it is starting you do have voltage or it wouldnt start. Not sure what the .6 and .8 is, do you mean less than 1 volt. But from the looks of the switch you either need to dig deeper and clean up the contacts or replace the switch. -

Or do I need to do that again but from the actual battery terminals? -

Smoking Yamaha moto 250
Ok so I tried my best with what I could find, so on the ignition switch I tested the negative side and the positive side, the negate read .6 something and the positive read .8 something and this was when I cranked the engine, I will send a picture of where I connected the probes to make sure I did it right The middle left wire is the negative and the middle right is the positive, first I connected the negative probe and then I connected the positive probe to the far left, which should be the signal that lets it crank and then I swapped it with the positive to test that, is that the right way to test it? Also when I cracked it I hit record on the multi meter and that’s how I got those readings they were the max -

Oil leak 1985 suzuki 250
Breather hoses not being hooked up will not cause it to burn oil, you may see smoke coming out of the hoses from ring blow by , a bad oil seal would cause more oil to get into the rotor and stator as you described earlier. Its an 85 im sure all the seals are getting pretty brittle especially if it has sat up for a while. -

Oil leak 1985 suzuki 250
Mech, is it possible some of the breather hoses not being hooked up would cause it to burn oil? or not so much? the only other possible thing i can see, is the crankshaft oil seal itself (see #17 on this parts diagram) , unless some other O ring or something https://www.suzukipartshouse.com/oemparts/a/suz/50d0b06af870022c2c53619a/crankshaft -

Oil leak 1985 suzuki 250
Inside of the side cases there is oil, and the generator and timing marks are in there where there oil is, but generally speaking they design things so the crank throws and flywheel don't get in the oil, they'd make too much oil mist and breathers wouldn't be able to separate the oil out fast enough, and as I've said, it wrecks the ring's seal. -

Carb problem 2007 Honda foreman 500 4x4 es
Mech, I took the float off the new carb and took the jet out cleaned it and blew air through the valve opening. Put it back together and tried it again like you said this time it worked. Must have been something in there like you said. So I’m going to reinstall it tomorrow sometime and will post how it did. Hopefully that got it. Thanks again for all your help back on the 350 and now. You’ve been a great help. Thanks until next time if this works. Will let you know. Jeff- 1

Carb problem 2007 Honda foreman 500 4x4 es
I did like you said blowing in the intake it leaks by. I may just clean the old one and put it back on. Unless you know of something else I can do. Thanks for your help. -

Oil leak 1985 suzuki 250
When tilted on its side, i looked into the sight glass and seen black oil. I am pretty certain there is no fuel getting in there. So you mentioned i shouldn't see oil in the crankshaft area like i did when trying to find the timing mark? i looked at the parts diagram and there is some o rings and the such on the end of the crankshaft. do you think one of these could be worn away and letting oil in where its not supposed to? another thing to mention, i didnt change over the piston or rings or cylinder head because it all looked good, though there was only crosshatch on the bottom portion, there was some straight lines where the piston strokes. I already got it half apart again and im going to switch over piston and cylinder from the bike that didn't smoke, just to be sure. the rings looked great on the original though... compression was good, 110 psi.. there are also other various o rings and seals amongst the crankcase and oil sump and clutch etc.. do you think one of those could be a culprit? i haven't seen any cases elsewhere of that though, from research. tommorow im gonna try to switch to the other pistons and rings, and cylinder etc, if that doesent work, then i will go ahead and assume its something else
