Hi i was driving my banshee in the snow today for about a hour and half i guess im going up my road and it just dies on me i look down and i see that teh right cylinder plus was coming out of the head. I screwed the plug back in and went to go kick it and it wouldn't kick over its just stuck so i figure that its ceased some how. Can anyone tell me what is going on?

 

deceased or siezed maybe, but not ceased [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] What do your plugs look like? if they're white, it could be melting and that would make it sieze. Or it could of been something else. Only one way to find out. A wrench

 

my plugs are fine yeah i spell bad but yeah there golden brown no melting on the plugs but that kick starter will not budge at all i check my coolant too and the radiator and resivoir are full

 

I have no idea why it siezed, but we can try to use logic and circumstances. I cant think of a reason a sieze would make a plug come out and not strip the threads. So ima guess the plug coming out caused the sieze. Blast of cold air or acting like an air leak maybe? I dunno, just guessing. Maybe somone with more sieze experience will get on.

 

Yeah i know thanks for your help

 

Are you positive the piston is not moving in the cylinder. That happened to my buddies dirt bike last year in the snow when his plug unscrewed itself and the bike died. When we put the plug back in it wouldn;t fire up or anything and the plug looked fine. What happened was when the plug came out it actually fouled itself and you couldn;t tell by the way it looked, we ripped the bike apart several time trying to figure it out until i put in a new plug just by a guess and it worked and still runs fine. Try a new plug and when the plug is out drop a little 2 stroke oil in the cylinder and try to crank it over lightly and see if it moves. Could of just froze up for a hot second because of the misfire from the spark plug coming out. Good Luck
