ive come to the conclusion after more than four months of working on this beast, that on one of the rotors, i have little if any compression, refer to "just rebuilt carb", a friend said he and a few others have disconnected a vaccum hose on their engines, and let it 'drink' up about 3 gallons, its like a steam clean to the rotors, and they got their compression back, ran like a new engine. one guys i know did it, and then ran it for one more day hard as hell. then he went home, and took it apart, the rotors and rotor housings he said looked new. is this all bullshit???? if not, i may try it, so please, let me know what you think.

nothing ive ever heard of

i heard it gets rid of the carbon in the engine. you could also USE ATF or marvel mystery oil. never personally tried the water trick

ive heard of and tried the atf treatment, but this was recomended above the atf. its just a last hope, ya know?

the water trick works, its like when you have a bad head gasket. i dunno about letting it drink straight though



mike

they do this on piston engines too, any engine that has alot of carbon buildup you can run some water through it and it will help clean it up. be sure to run it for a while after the water though, be sure to get it all out before you shut it off and let it sit...

thanks, ill be trying it this weekend, i hope.

you know, some people like runnin a bottle of n2o through an engine to help clean it up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

water seems harmless enough

water works on pistons, but won't it leave the housings oil free for a brief amount of time while water washes it off?
