this is oil injected and i have also bleed it by the process in the manual,so it does work.i have also mixed the gas 40/1 and still got hot. i heard the crank seals may get warm and start sucking air.that sounds like alot of work on a guess.

Pull your spark plug out and 'read' it.

Sounds like a lean air/fuel mixture.

Too much air... not enough fuel/oil.

It either needs rejetting to match the hop-up or it's sucking air from somewhere.

Oh dang... I forgot to add..... I decided to pass on this one [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

The guy wanted $500 for it and seemed pretty 'dumb' to the engine problem.
I don't know if he honestly was one of those people... or the type who 'plays' dumb.
It's hard to tell sometimes.

The way I figured it, I would have $500 in it to haul it away, and then another $1,200 in repairs/mods to get it ready to haul ****. So $1,700 invested before other hidden maintenace items, tires, wheels, ect.

I kept see-sawing on the decision.

With all that stuff from Ritter Cycle, it would have probably been pretty darn bad for a Trailblazer.
But for the same investment to get rolling, I could get something else already going maybe.

I argued that back and forth a while and couldn't decide.
Then I just figured finally that if I was that 'for it' I would have already went and got it.
