Default V leaking coolant

One of the guys came buy on a raptor wanting to race today. I went out and started to put the hpd plain spring in, when I noticed the top of the motor was holding a puddle of coolant right in the "V". I'm not even gonna mess with it. That's what the warranty is for. Will call the dealer in the morning. Bad thing is, I think the raptor guy thought I was dodging him. I drove my truck up to his house and told him the story. Not sure if he bought it, but I will give him a heck of a run when I get this leak resolved. I think I will go ahead and get the Dalton clutch cover in the meantime. Anyone else had a coolant leak like this yet? There appeared to be a drip at the hose on the rear cylinder and one on the carb heater hose as well...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

I've run it before. I have duals, 160/165 jets and airbox mods. Seems to get to top speed more quickly.

mine did the same thing, go threw and tighten all your hose clamps. I found a loose one up towards the top of the engine.

Yes, the hose clamp on the top of the rear cylinder was at least two turns out!! A little too cold to ride today, but I ordered the Dalton clutch cover. When it comes, I'll throw it on and put the plain spring back in and go look up the raptor crowd. Since my coolant is so low now, I may look into putting some water wetter in.
