Reply #4 - 04/12/10 at 15:26:44 might be interesting to open the gas cap and see if anything odd is going on there when it's doing it might drain the line at the bottom of the air box you didn't park on the cat did you?

Oil doesn't bubble, but gasoline in oil can make a bubble sound as it boils out in the bathtub area (bathtub area gets quite hot when you first shut the engine down as it is directly over the piston crown and the cooling air flow has stopped).

What sort of petcock system do you use?

This has happened before -- bad petcock let gas into carb during shut down which made it into the oil by weeping down the cylinder wall.

This is bad for the oil and bad for the cylinder and piston.

Open your oil adder port by turning the cap off and kneel down and sniff the freshly opened hole (engine must be hot to generate the fumes) -- do you smell gasoline?

If so you have things you must do -- get the oil changed asap and fix or replace your petcock to stop more gas from getting in there.

old feller i am using the original petcock.. can i get a rebuild kit for it at bike bandit? or where? shouldnt be hard to rebuild it surely?

I will check tomorrow to see if the oil hole smells like gas after running a little bit......

This is the first time this has happened but i do know that the bike has been getting hot because my pipe has all of a sudden started turning blue... also... i have been working to get the bike straight... i have found a exhaust leak i am jumping on in the morning.. i will check the other things also ....as suggested.. at that time..
thanks for your help..

babyhog nope no spots.... never a spot on ground after wards... shes been a good bike up until now.. i have been trying to counter whatever the past owner did for a while now...
thought i was getting some wheres and now this..
arrrggg

well sometime ago i was having problems with it i thought..
I could get it up to 60 and it would act like it was running out of gas? i would switch to reserve and it would kick back in.. switch back to regular and couple minutes later it would do it again..

well i changed muffler from the original that was messed up to a dyna muffler and it runs better now and quit doing that until yesterday.. i thought maybe Bad gas? so i drained tank today and refueled tank and then i also changed the vaccum line for the petcock to a new one and lost a hiss sound i have heard past couple of days...

the bike ran super well today and then when i got home from a 30 minute easy ride i heard the bubbling gurgle and thought ohhh noooooooo... and havent cranked since... i have now got the exhaust ready for a heat wrap in the mornign and a re seal on the connection point for the slip on.... oil level is ok but i will check for smell of gas tomorrow..

thanks everyone

i have fixed exhaust leak and adjusted mix screw from 2 1/2 turns out to 2 turns out... sounds good.. i had ran it just a couple minutes or so then shut down... i let bike sit a minute and wanted to check oil level again... when i grabbed bike and stood it straight up.. i could of swore i heard water running ...into something? where and maybe is this what i heard yesterday except for boiling? after being hot? hmm also i did sniff oil filler hole and to me but thats just me.. i dont smell fuel... also i took vaccum hose loose at carb on right side there and gave it a toke or two and no fluid or gas...
this is good i think... Cool

so hmm the water sound running has me baffled?
